Marshall Discovery State Park
This week was all about my book and slide shows at the REIs in the Sacramento Area.
I got to sneak a trip up to Coloma where the Marshall Discovery Gold Park is.
This is Marshall Monument in honor of James Marshall who first discovered gold in California on January 24, 1848. The second biggest gold rush was 1851 in Yreka, Ca. Check out the driving tour in my book, "Mount Shasta Guide to Fun".
This is where the gold was first discovered. Marshall was digging out dirt that was too high from the water overflow and noticed sparkles in the water. It was GOLD!
This is an original stagecoach used back in the day. Who knows it could have been one that Black Bart robbed. He was famous for leaving poems after each robbery.
Now back to the serious stuff. The corn skiing has been wonderful. Gotta hit it early. This picture I took this morning at 9400 ft. Green Butte Ridge via Sargents Ridge.
Looks like the weather going to change and maybe some snow this weekend. I always say some of the best powder is the spring pow-pow!I'll be doing a slide show at REI in Reno Wednesday April 22. Mount Shasta Adventures. Check it out.

You go girl! Anyone coming to our area for the first time will have a better experience if they get in touch with you first! Then, when they come back, they'll never want to strike out alone. With your experience and knowledge of the area, they'll turn a visit into an adventure.
Have fun in Reno,
