Memory Monday, Week 72
My post is running a little late today; Memory Monday turned into Migraine Monday unfortunately! This week I have a few photos from a road trip my parents took to the Oregon coast. I’m not sure what year it was but I’m guessing late 1940s or early 1950s. Notes on the back indicate the two images side by side below […]
The Adventure Continues… Coloma
I was able to visit the Marshall Gold Discovery State Historic Park about a month ago; it was my first time back in decades, after first seeing the park during grade school. Unlike Huell, we didn’t meet any miners on our visit; but there’s still plenty to see and a lot to learn about California’s Gold Rush history and all […]

The Adventure Continues… Tahoe Corner — Road Trip
This is an episode I’ve been looking forward to, and clearly Huell was excited about it as well. After watching this, I’ve added a few more items to my list of must-see places in California, like the Rainbow Trail along Taylor Creek and the mansions of the Tallac estates. Lake Tahoe is a very special place, nestled in the Sierra […]
Placer mining tools
There’s an awful lot to see and to learn at the Gold Bug Park and Mine in Placerville. We spent only part of the morning there and had a great time.
