What Town Was A Stop On The Vaca Valley And Clear Lake Railroad?

See photos & details

Esparto - Vaca Valley Railroad officials gave the name Esperanza ("hope" in Spanish) to their new townsite in 1888, but when the post office was established in 1890 the name had to be changed because there was already an Esperanza in Tulare County.

You Don't Want To Find Yourself In Yolo County Jail

Berryessa Gap introduces a song from Didar Singh Khalsa "Yolo County Jail." BIO: Didar Singh Khalsa is a retired organic fruit farmer who is finding joy in writing and recording absurd numbers of songs. He describes his genre as folkrock, although it’s probably more idiosyncratic than that. He has been religiously attending Richard Thompson’s upstate New York guitar camp for eleven years from whence he seems to have procured the services of a muse of some sort!
