Vallejo to Sacramento CA, May 17, 1903
"...At Davisville, 59 miles from Vallejo, those always genial and well meaning prevaricators, the natives, informed me that the road to Sacramento, which point I had set as the day's destination, was in good shape; and though I knew that in many places the Sacramento River, swollen by the melting snow of the Sierras, had, as is the case each year, overflowed its banks.

Waypoint Today: Wyman passed this way as he travelled to Sacramento. The main thoroughfare of Davis(ville) at the time was 2nd Street along the UPRR tracks. He would have passed right by the UPRR Depot.
