Around Twain-Harte (2016/9/5 13:46:00)
We spent Labor
Day weekend up in Twain Harte. It was Maddy's nap time when we got there, so Rick and I went and visited the local fire lookout. It was really interesting
seeing what the daily job is like. Of course 1 hour is considerably different than 25 years!
It's tricky
getting good shots through a telescope. I've clearly got some practice to do. This is Three Chimneys from 27 + 3/4 Miles away
Sunday Rick and
Rena took us over to Columbia State Park , I had no idea this place existed. It's a great place for kids to
get a feel for some history.
There are lots
of exposed granite rocks exposed to climb on. Maddy really enjoyed that. The rocks are exposed from the Hydraulic gold mining back in the day.
The whole town
is preserved as a living museum. Surprisingly it is free. I hope it stays open and maintained.
Down the road at
Ironstone winery, there are some neat relics from the gold mining era. Some pretty serious gold was found by this rock muncher.
This forty-four
pound specimen "Gold pocket" Ironstone's Crown Jewel was held
onto despite an offer of $20 million.
