Calaveras – Sierra Rd Loop
We had some snow over the night of January 27-28, 2002, so on the 29th, after the roads were sanded and clear, my son, Scott and I drove up in to the hills above Milpitas and San Jose to get a closer look. We took Piedmont Rd. to Calaveras. Turned right on Felter and went on up into the hills, and then back down again on Sierra Rd. to Piedmont in San Jose once again. It was about an 18 mile drive.

Educator At An Accident
“How come you’re late?” asks the principal as the teacher walks in the door of Milpitas High School. “It was awful,” she explains. “I was walking down Escuela Parkway and there was this terrible accident. A student was lying in the middle of the street; he was thrown from his car. His leg was broken, his skull was fractured, and there was blood everywhere. Thank God I took that first-aid course; all my training came back to me in a minute.” “What did you do?” asks the principal. “I sat down and put my head between my knees to keep from fainting!” A Milpitas Mom’s Favorite Joke.
