Hi Doyle

This is a photo that I took of the "Cache Creek Store" as it looked in 2016. When I posted this pic back then, Vern Larsen commented that his family ran the store back "in the day" and they lived in the back section. Good memories, sorry that he is no longer with us, he always had good comments on this site :-(

Bernie Rockvolt - I remember the days when the cops would just make us pour the beer out and told us to go home. It happened to me and those I was cruising with twice. I guess that's why I was surprised the night they took me in and made me spend a night in the pokey.

Cache Creek Market - 13 years old on the way to the farmer's fields to hunt jackrabbits and starlings. I'll have a box of 22 shells and an R C Cola.

Thank you Greg for the picture of the Larson Store and Home.  Eldon Larson lives in Utah now with his wife Shelly Hawk Larson.. This was the family home.  Many seventh and eighth grade birthdays for Eldon were held here for all of the Yolo Cachville students.  Great times shared. Eldon and I have the same birthday, April 12th.   Mrs. Larson did a great job on the parties for all.  It is always the Larson Store with memories.

Mr. John Francis Tauzer, Class of 1964, passed yesterday July 29, 2025, on his 79th birthday.  Bless John and his family.  He was at the home of his daughter Cassie.  John had a rare blood disease.

I contacted the Woodland Library Rose Club regardeing their memory brick project.   The Woodland Library Rose Club called me and explained that the Club is no longer offering the memory bricks at this time.  .

my family had a ranch down stream and south of the st13  bridge over cache cr. i walked to lagenour school  along the creek bench, keeping an  eye out for best ranch bulls.there was a fence crossover and then across the bridge and down a path to a tunnel under the hiway. stopped in for a mountain dew at larsens store.

Dolores Cabias (Buck) (1965)

I remember very well walking to your home Bruce.  You mom taught sewing for 4-H. So between your mom and mine, I really learned to sew.  I started making my own clothes for high school and in later years. I also made clothes for my daughters too.  I rememer the tunnel, the levee, and the train bridge. Those were great days.

Theresa Eve (1964)

Dolores, sewing was a good thing to learn.   I also learned in 4-H, plus Mother was a good teacher.  I made a lot of my high school dresses, then dresses for college.  Also entered some dresses in the Yolo County Fair.  Won a few ribbons.  Those projects kept me busy.  Do not sew these days, I am into gardening..  

Dolores Cabias (Buck) (1965)

Teresa, like you I do not do much sewing unless for a scrapbook project.  Other, also like you, I do  a lot of gardening.

Greg Kareofelas (1962)

Hi Delores and Bruce, thanks for your memories about the Cache Creek Store, Can you explain the "Tunnel Under the Hwy" more, I did not realize there was a tunnel anywhere around there??

Bruce Lawley (1965)

Well, it was a 8 ft culvert under the north side of the new bridge down ramp that was installed so that kids walking to school from the south east side of cache cr would not have to cross the highway. The school was on the n.w. side of the creek after the bridge. A path led down to it. It was paved. It is still there.

Bruce Lawley (1965)

No more pusseyfooting arounding....war in vietnam .we were a part  of it.  lets talk

Mike Miller (1966)

What part did you play?

Greg Kareofelas (1962)

Thanks Bruce, I have driven over the bridge many times and stopped at the store, but never knew about the tunnel under the hwy!!

Bruce Lawley (1965)

65TH combat engineers, 25th infrantry, Tay Ninh provence , 1968...You ?

Mike Miller (1966)

And why do you think we should talk about it?

Bruce Lawley (1965)

The realities of the 60s changed alot of peoples way of seeing the world and some lives. Not just Elvis, the assassinations, the war, the race to the moon. Is that not relevant ?

Mike Miller (1966)

Of course. But, sorry, I don't see the relevance in rehashing old war stories. Been there, done that. No more need for me. But have at it as you may.

Bruce Lawley (1965)

m.m. So hears the deal. you asked, i replied. no war stories here unless  requested. the question remains the same. The essense of the 60s.

Mike Miller (1966)

Your platform sir.

John Northup (1969)

Not to belabor the point, or oppose the site policies, but the Vietnam War was a huge part of our common experience of the 60s.  I just wantec to add my personal experience, not having been sent their, I was asked to be a computer programmer for the Navy (Fleet Numerical Weather Central!) which had the hardship location of Monterey, CA!  While there, I saw many newly conscripted soldiers on leave from Fort Ord with vacationers in Monterey spitting on them for being in uniform.  My heart is still broken for how our Nation treated the soldiers, NOT THE GENERALS.  For all of the WHS classmates who were sent there, I am so sorry for that degradation.

Theresa Eve (1964)

Near Laugenour Elementay School, the Tunnel is located, County Road 17A. Here is Vern Larson, standing in front of the Tunnel which was near the Larson, Cache Creek Store, his family owned.  Their home was in the back of the store.   Eldon Larson, Class of 1964, asked that I post this picture for everyone to see. .
