-
- 2) FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS ABOUT VISITING YOLO COUNTY. [Rev]
-
- Those visitors to Yolo County who intend to visit the City of Davis or
- U.C. Davis should refer to the Davis USENET FAQ and/or the U.C. Davis
- USENET FAQ (see Section 1.5 for more information on how to obtain
- these FAQs). Readers with a web browser may wish to visit the Yolo
- Online Home Page on the World Wide Web:
-
- <http://www.mother.com/yo/yolo1.htm >
-
-
- 2.1) What reasons would someone have for visiting Yolo County?
-
- Most people who visit Yolo County have friends, family, or business in
- the area, as Yolo County is a fairly obscure and sparsely populated
- region of Northern California, best known as the home of U.C. Davis.
- However, Yolo County also contains a number of other small communities
- and is the center of the multi-billion dollar California tomato
- industry. See Section 2.6 for more information about Yolo County
- commerce.
-
- 2.2) Where is Yolo County and how do I get there?
-
- Yolo County borders Sacramento County, which lies east of Yolo County.
- Depending upon where you begin your trip and what part of Yolo County
- you are trying to reach, you could take one of a number of highways.
- Interstates 5 (I-5), 80 (I-80), and 505 (I-505) form a triangle that
- bisects the borders of Yolo County, and Hwy 113 runs north and south
- connecting I-5 (which runs northwest and southeast) with I-80 (which
- runs east and west).
-
- 2.3) Where can I get something to eat in Yolo County?
-
- See Section 3.6.2 for a list of restaurants in Yolo County.
-
- 2.4) Where can I find lodging in Yolo County?
-
- Depending upon what part of Yolo County you plan to visit, you have a
- number of options for temporary lodging. If you are visiting Davis,
- you may wish to refer to the Davis USENET FAQ (see Section 1.5 for
- information on how to obtain the Davis USENET FAQ).
-
- 2.5) What sort of recreation and entertainment is available for visitors
- to Yolo County?
-
- [See Section 3.6.1 for more information about recreation and
- entertainment in Yolo County.] According to the erudite Robert
- Schulz, the Cache Creek Casino in Capay Valley is operated by the
- Wintun tribe, one of the all but extinct groups of "California
- Indians". According to my resource books, however, the Wintun is not
- properly considered a tribe, but rather a dialect group of the
- Penutian language family of aboriginal California. Speakers of the
- Wintun dialect include the closely related Wintu, Nomlaki, and Patwin.
- The Patwin were the most recent aboriginal inhabitants of Yolo
- County prior to the Gold Rush, but many of the remaining "California
- Indians" such as the Patwin have organized with other Native Americans
- and organized into larger political groups to preserve their sundry
- cultures and obtain greater influence (e.g., the aforementioned
- "Wintun tribe"). Gaming is one of the most profitable industries for
- groups on Indian reservations in California, as casino style gambling
- is not legal anywhere else in the state. To reach the Cache Creek
- Casino, drive west on Highway 16, which runs through the city of
- Woodland as Main Street and intersects I-5, Hwy 113, and I-505:
-
- Drive until you're sure you've hit the end of the world.
- Drive further still. There, you will find Cashe[sic] Creek.
- Can't miss it. Big, funky building in the middle of nowhere.
-
- Mike Lewis (<mailto:mike@larry.utah.com > posting on ucd.life
- (<news:ucd.life > Message-ID: <461k13$bd@larry.utah.com>).
- Driving along Hwy 16 West from Woodland, you will pass the towns
- of Madison, Esparto, and Capay west of I-505. On the outskirts of
- Capay, you will find the Cache Creek Casino. A Las Vegas casino it is
- not. It has bingo, slot machines, blackjack and other card games; it
- does not have craps, roulette, or complimentary cocktails. A quaint
- place to gamble in the middle of nowhere.
-
- 2.6) What sort of commerce is there in Yolo County?
-
- The multi-billion dollar California tomato industry, an agribusiness
- that dominates 90% of the national tomato market, is centered in Yolo
- County. There are also a number of small businesses that operate out
- of store front malls and a smattering of other larger commercial
- enterprises. Readers with a web browser may visit the Woodland
- Chamber of Commerce Home Page on the World Wide Web:
-
- <http://www.mother.com/yo/wcham/wcham1.htm >
-
- 2.7) What sort of transportation services are available to and in Yolo
- County?
-
- Yolobus provides bus service to and in Yolo County from the
- neighboring county of Sacramento and Citylink provides bus service
- from the neighboring town of Dixon. Contact Yolobus at 1-(800)-371-
- 2877; TDD 371-3077 or City Link at (707)428-7590 for more information.
- Greyhound and Amtrak also maintain stations in Yolo County. Ten
- commercial airlines also service the Sacramento Metropolitan Airport
- which borders Yolo County to the east.
-
- 2.7.1) How far is the Sacramento Metropolitan Airport from Yolo County and
- how do I get there?
-
- The Sacramento Metropolitan Airport is located about a mile from the
- border of Yolo County, on the outskirts of Sacramento County. Most of
- the populated regions of Yolo County are closer to the airport than
- are the populated regions of Sacramento County. Take I-5 South (which
- is actually eastbound) to the airport. You can't possibly miss the
- airport.
-
- 2.7.1.1) Where should I park at the Sacramento Metropolitan Airport?
-
- Short term parking is usually available near the terminal of your
- airline for 75 cent for the first half hour, $1.50 per hour to a
- maximum daily rate of $10; long term parking is $1.50 per hour up to a
- maximum daily rate of $5. Circle around the airport once before
- parking to make sure that you know where you are going once you park.
-
- 2.7.1.2) Is there an airport shuttle service from Yolo County to the
- Sacramento Metropolitan Airport?
-
- Yes. The Davis Airporter has 24 hour service to the Sacramento
- Airport from all areas in and around Yolo County (reservations are
- required). Contact the Davis Airporter at (916)756-6715 for more
- information. [Note: Other companies provide shuttle service to the
- Sacramento Airport, but I have not had occasion to use them.]
-
- 2.7.1.3) Where can I get more information about the Sacramento
- Metropolitan Airport?
-
- Call the Metro's BeeLine at (916)552-5252 or write:

- with a web browser may wish to visit the Southwest Airlines Home Page
- on the World Wide Web (<http://www.iflyswa.com/ >)].
-
- 2.7.2) Amtrak. [New]
-
- Readers with a web browser may visit Amtrak's Home Page on the World
- Wide Web (<http://www.amtrak.com/ >). Amtrak's Capitol Route is an
- affordable and pleasant way to reach the Bay Area, but the trains do
- not run on time. Make sure that you allow for plenty of time to reach
- your destination.

-
- 3.6.2.6) Recommendations from the Yolo County USENET.
-
- On November 24, 1994, Steve Cantrell began the thread, "Good Eats in
- Yolo County," on the yolo.life newsgroup (<news:yolo.life >),
- recommending (among others) two restaurants that I have not had a
- chance to sample (Message-ID: <3bfr27$ihs@mark.ucdavis.edu)>:
-
- * Best Mexican Food: Jody's (in Woodland)
- * Best French Food: The Crepe Bistro (Davis)
-
- On November 29, 1994, Cyndie Alvarez Necoechea stated, "You should
- also try Vincents on Main Street. Great Margaritas!!!" (Message-ID:
- <Pine.SOL.3.91.941129151455.28922A-100000@dale>). On December 2,
- 1994, Lisa Nishikawa recommended Osaka Sushi as the Best Japanese
- (Message-ID: <3bmkip$71u@mark.ucdavis.edu>). On December 11, 1994,
- Frank Digenova recommended Noodle Express for Chinese food. And on
- December 25, 1994 Lois Richter offered (Message-ID:
- <3dkf71$n78@pa.mother.com>):
-
- the only other place to come close to [Morrison's Upstairs]
- recently was the 'St Pauli Hotel' restaurant on Hiway50
- (before Kyburz), which serves extremely good German-style
- food.
-
- In a separate post on the same day, Ms. Richter also offered the
- following recommendation (Message-ID: <3dkj40$nld@pa.mother.com>):
-
- [A]dd CHINA HOUSE (F st, near 3rd, Davis) for good
- all-around Chinese dishes and several great house
- specialties (my favorite is "China House Lettuce Chicken" --
- sort of like mushu pork with lettuce instead of crepes and
- chicken instead of pork and a FINE plum sauce!)
-
- Please note that I have edited the information above so that it
- should only include recommendations that I have not personally sampled
- and/or from people for whose taste I cannot vouch. Also note that
- this information does not include cumulative recommendations or a
- tally of votes; noticeably missing from most of these recommendations
- are the addresses and phone numbers of the establishments.
