Another Unbalanced day

Just as I described yesterday, Josie had another boring day and I had another day filled with computer stuff. There were no more people coming into the park so Josie and the girls in the office spent most of the day chatting. My day was filled with doing tutorials for the different software packages. We're glad it's time to play again for the next three days.

We have decided to take a trip a little further north today to visit a place called "Sutter Gold Mine". It has won recognition as a "must see" place and has won several awards from companies touting the best tours. We hope to have some pictures and a happy story to tell from that trip. We have kidded that we are going to pan for gold while we are here and this may be a good time to start learning the process. Supposedly, 70% of all the gold in our country is still in the ground. Of course, at around $1,000 an ounce, it is a good time for anybody to find some gold.

Our plan originally called for a visit to the Railtown State Park that I mentioned yesterday. We found out that you can see everything at the park, but the trains only run from April through November, so we have put that trip on hold for now. We may still go, but we would have liked to take one of their train rides through the gold country. We'll see. That's about it for today...
