I was able to get extremely close to the fire apparatus in the Angels Camp Museum both last summer and in September 2018; by contrast, on my visit to Auburn’s historic red-and-white-striped firehouse, I found everything locked up tight. I shot my photos of the horseless carriage through the windows. Finally, a wire screen protected the entrance to the old […]
I don’t really know anything about the Sacramento Valley Garden Railway group, but building a model railroad in the back yard seems like a wonderful hobby! You may recall seeing The Fairplex Garden Train in an episode of Huell Howser’s Visiting which I featured back in October 2020. Don’t forget to click on the images below for a closer look […]
