![]() It is located about 15 miles west of Sacramento and about 80 miles east of San Francisco. Since the town is very flat, bikes are very big here and the symbol of Davis is the old-fashioned penny farthing bicycle. Here are some pictures of things around Davis, some unusual. |
One of the town's famous landmarks -- Toad Hollow, which sits opposite a toad tunnel which runs under the newly (then) built overpass, so that toads can go from one side to the other without danger of being squashed. To date, some 20 years later, there is no indication that any toad has ever discovered the tunnel, but if they do, this little town is ready to host them, before or after their trip. (Note that the buildings have solar panels.) |
