Visit to Sutter's Mill

Yesterday we went out to lunch near Coloma, then stopped by the replica of Sutter's Mill, where gold was discovered by James Marshall, starting the California Gold Rush in 1849. We also looked in the museum there, which is very interesting.

Morning Walk in Shingle Springs

The kids didn't have school yesterday, and don't today either, so that Poly can hold "parent teacher conferences."  So Erica and I came up yesterday to Sacramento / Shingle Springs to take advantage of the "4 day weekend." Tim couldn't come, because he didn't want to miss his last AYSO soccer game of the season on Saturday, and Frances had to work... (I do too, in principle, but "have laptop, will travel...". 

This morning I took a walk down Ponderosa Road, and then down Maverick road.  Here are some of the sights I saw...

One of Frank's horses across Ponderosa Road.  He seems to be looking for some breakfast, but I didn't have any food with me.
