Curt.Goodenough reviewed the destination Auburn State Recreation Area on Mar 14, 2012
"Wonderful trails, especially during the spring before you can go higher. Watch out for mountain bikers, and pay your entrance fee at the pay stations or get a hefty ticket. There is no more free parking even off of Foresthill Rd."

Curt.Goodenough likes Old Sacramento State Historic Park on Mar 14, 2012
Old Sacramento State Historic Park is a cluster of noteworthy, early Gold Rush commercial structures. Historic buildings include the 1849 Eagle Theater; the 1853 B. F. Hastings Building, once home to the California Supreme Court; and the reconstructed 1855 Big Four Building. Old Sacramento's historical significance comes from it being the western terminus of the Pony Express postal system, the first transcontinental railroad, and the transcontinental telegraph.
Curt.Goodenough likes Empire Mine State Historic Park on Mar 14, 2012
Empire Mine State Historic Park is the site of one of the oldest, largest, deepest, longest and richest gold mines in California. In existence for more than 100 years, the mine produced 5.6 million ounces of gold before it closed in 1956. The park contains many of the mine's buildings, the owner's home and restored gardens, as well as the entrance to 367 miles (the distance, as the crow flies, from Grass Valley to Magic Mountain) of abandoned and flooded mine shafts.
