Paint your wagon, and come along...

We took a trip to Sutter's Mill today for a history lesson.  The fall colors were nice and the cool, wet weather made the day enjoyable.  We got near nature - close enough it felt like a petting zoo.
Apologies about the quality of the photos.  We forgot the camera at home and had to use the phone.  And yes, that is one of our group capturing video on his iPod - he "chased" them around the field for 10 minutes. We also found the site where gold was originally discovered.
Sorry to report, we didn't find any.  That's the Foresthill Bridge.  You may remember this as the place where Xander Cage entered the Xander zone.
That's it for now - next post should be about Roman Shades.  The last of them are going up and we'll have some before and after shots.  We're happy with the way they're turning out.

  1. Very cool trip! last summer visiting friends in UT (friends from Sacramento, coincidentally--The Caspers)we watched the Mormon Batallion video for FHE and I loved learning about the area. My GG Grandpa Layton was with them (the MoBat) there and around SF before going back to England, bringing home more saints, and staring his second family. I love the west and our heritage! (can't wait to hear about the Roman Shades...)
