So. Much. History!!!!

Published on Jun, 2023

I continue to be amazed about the abundant treasures and rich legacy of our area of the state. So. Much. History!!!! It was another fantastically curated tour, and was great to get an insider's perspective on what life was like during those times. I will look forward to trying out more of these tours!

Great experience

Very informative and interesting. Great way to get an overview of Gold country! Loved the VoiceMap app and how it played the audio at the right time and allowed for optional stops.

California Gold Country Back Roads tour featuring interesting history and natural beauty

Published on Jul, 2022

This is the third in a series of 4 tours of the California Gold Country that my wife and I took over a recent weekend getaway to celebrate our anniversary. We are both big history buffs and really enjoyed hearing about some of the more interesting wild west characters from that era. Wonderful chance to explore some of the more picturesque Norther California back roads. Some beautiful natural wonders as well, such as the Black Chasm Caverns and Indian Grinding Rock Historic Park. Kennedy Tailing Wheels showed you just how massive some of these mining projects were. And major shout out to the Jackson Rancheria Casino and the cute little town of Angels' Camp, the home of Twain's Annual Jumping Frog Contest. Some great shops and restaurants.
