Puzzle Description:

The old sign out in front of the Nut Tree in Vacaville, CA was removed shortly before I created this puzzle. It was a landmark throughout my childhood, and was removed in 2015.

What a terrific image! And lots of fun to solve. Was it a bar, a restaurant, or a funny farm?

Hm. A web search says it was a truck stop:

Not really a truck stop. There were a few shops and restaurants but there was also a grounds where they had a pumpkin patch, a Christmas tree farm, etc, depending on the time of year. They held the Northern California Ren Faire there a few years though in reality it was too hot a location for it.

They changed what was at that link I found. Now it says it's the site of a humongous future development.

Wombat, that sounds like it was a really neat place!
