Gold Rush Country - Sunday, April 12

It was time for us to leave.  We packed the van and got ready to go. We were hoping to head west to visit Scott Lyon and his family in El Cerrito, but we received a text saying they had all been throwing up all night as they drove home from the Grand Canyon.  We decided against a visit.  Instead, we decided to head east and drive hwy 49 all the way to Oak Hurst on the south side of Yosemite.  We had driven it 35 years ago, before the kids, and we wanted to see it again.  We took our time, stopping at most historical markers and really enjoyed the oak grasslands.  We camped at the Calaveras County Fair Grounds.  Here we found Steinbeckian characters, men who lived at the RV site year round.  We stayed to ourselves and enjoyed crashing, writing and watching Game of Thrones.
