Thanks to a good friend, I was able to attend the Gold Rush Days in Old Town Sacramento for the first time this year. The twelfth annual event was held over Labor Day Weekend, and it was like stepping back in history to the 1850's, when everyone had "the fever." Special events included historical reenactments, gun fights, train and pony rides, shows for the children, jugglers, river cruises, and artisan demonstrations. My personal favorites, of course, were the wagon & stagecoach rides, driven by many of our friends from Wagon Train Adventures past. Still on a sugar buzz from all the ice cream and taffy. I capped the trip off with a dinner for the Highway 50 Wagon Train Survivors, where it was nice to reminisce about our journey, and spin tales about being trapped in the High Sierras, with "no shelter, and little food." Shhhh, don't mention we were in Strawberry Lodge. It was yet another wonderful time with friends. Of course, there were great photo opportunities.
