Description:
This is a “Road Trip” course involving personal vehicles and carpooling. Students and instructor leave the LMC Brentwood Center at 8:00 am on the last Saturday of the month with a Delta historical destination in mind. Historical narrative or context provided by the instructor enroute to destination via cell, speaker phone, conference call.
The 3-hour class ends with either a “brown bag” picnic lunch or historic restaurant lunch at or near a historic landmark or park. Proof of automobile insurance required. “Release and Agreement to Hold Harmless” to be completed by each participant.
Rio Vista is historically the major, midway grain and produce port between Antioch and Sacramento. Steamboats and modern craft stop here from both directions along the Sacramento River. The Rio Vista Museum is filled to overflowing with artifacts documenting Rio Vista’s prosperity. The bulwark protection ensuring Sacramento Valley prosperity is the Delta levee system. The Dutra family has ensured that prosperity for over 100 years by maintaining the levees. The Dutra family home, now a museum, chronicles that history. No visit to Rio Vista would be complete without a stop at Foster’s Bighorn restaurant, boasting one of the largest animal head collections in the world.
