In the bay area, 15 miles is a large distance. I hardly consider
Richmond next to Oakland. Geez, you have to drive past Berkeley then
get on 580 to reach Richmond.


Now, wait a sec - You must be kidding. 15 miles is *next door* in the
Bay Area. People drive/BART/bus 3-6 times that far every day just to
commute. Some come in from more than 100 miles out by train or car.


Richmond is a short hop from my house in *San Lorenzo*, let alone
Oakland.

In 15 miles, I could cross Saratoga, San Jose, Cupertino, and
Sunnyvale. If I did it right, I could probably put Mountain VIew in
that list.


Touch each of these towns, maybe, since they all almost intersect.
But cross them all? I am doubtful. That would require a somewhat
tortuous route.
