Howdy all...
I've got a trip planned to visit my folks who live up near Oregon. After visiting for a week or so my Dad and I will be taking a road trip from there down to see my hometown of Placerville-- I haven't been there since I was about 14 (mid 70's). Word has it the area is crawling with people now and my favorite wilderness areas are now suburban neighborhoods. The old reservoir is filled in, the big pine's been cut, grandparents' place burned down, and the horse left the barn. Still, we're going and will spend some time inspecting old haunts and reminiscing. Anybody know about museums? Historical Society? Mining displays? How about places to detect or go gold panning? We'll be there about early/ mid October, probably not longer than a day-- one of those 'bucket list' things. Any/ all help appreciated!
