Default Drive Notes / FYI.

My Drive Notes / FYI if anyone wants to use them. I'll bring handouts at breakfast in Folsom. DC

Before getting on Jefferson Blvd onto South River road make sure you have fuel and your bladder is empty.




Hwy 50 West, pass downtown, while crossing the River stay in your right lane to Jefferson Exit

Exit on Jefferson and stay to your left hand lane.

Left onto Jefferson and follow Jefferson to the 2ND South River Road exit (not the 1st South River Road exit) DO NOTE TAKE “Raley Field”, keep going.

There is a 2nd South River road exit (Go Left)

The road will force you off of the Levy in a couple of miles, T-bones into Gregory.

Left at Gregory (Stop Sign)

You will have a 1/2 mile jog right next to the levy (Great place to air it out a little)

Then you will go through an underpass and pop back up on the river road.

Continue South on South River Road toward Rio Vista.

You will pass several wineries and virtually no gas stations or bathrooms.
I suggest using the gas stations when you first turn left onto Jefferson.

Continue to Take South River Road to Rio Vista

It’s easily 32 Miles to Rio Vista on the River road.

Stops: Town of Locke – look for signs. Worth driving through it real quick…

Locke – detour / drive through (old Chinese town, leaning little buildings)


DESTINATION: Town of Rio Vista / Main Street, stop wherever, ask people…


• Foster's Bighorn is located at 143 Main St. Rio Vista, CA 94571

Note: Restaurant Bar with lots of old scary dead animal heads on walls!

• Main Street overlooking the Delta, Stop and look for “Humphrey”!

• Spirit of America Team / Craig Breedlove’s place
