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.- Hide quoted text -

BpnJ & M-Sushi,

When I drive down the Hill from Twain Harte to Sonora
to Columbia - It's about 15 Miles one-way - just to go
Shopping : While here in the SF Bay Area 15 Miles
can take you through a lot of places.

However, I would rather Drive 15 Miles on a Country
Road : The be DRIVING 15 MILES on a Buzy City
Street -or- a Crowded Freeway.

The again just think of what a Short Wave has to
'go through' just to get to you . . .

distance is relative to where you are 'at' -and-
where you want to 'go' - in your mind ~ RHF


No kidding. In a couple of days, I'm driving 1,000 miles in about 16
hours. *That's* a long drive...but it will yield great reward for the
effort expended, so it will be a breeze.
