    Mount Shasta is truly a beautiful site for the eyes. I only wished the clouds could have cleared the summit so I could have capture its entire majestic beauty.

    Did a family trip to Empire Mine State Historic Park in Grass Valley a couple of weeks ago. It was fun checking out the old gold mining grounds and the equipment. Some of these mines were 8,400 feet deep!

    I Love Folsom!

    Folsom is not only a great place to live but has a rich history with the Old West. It was a pivotal town during the California Gold Rush days including being the Western Terminus for the Pony Express. It also was one of the first places in the U.S. to generate AC power with the Folsom Power House which was built to supply electricity for Sacramento in 1895. This photo is from Old Folsom near Sutter Street where you can shop and walk around to get a feel of what it used to be like.
