Placerville Founder's Day Celebration and Wagon Train

Today Kurt and I attended the Founder's Day Celebration on Historic Main Street here in Placerville. The Highway 50 Wagon Train arrived this afternoon after a week long trek from Zephyr Cove, Nevada over Echo Summit and down Highway 50, commemorating the great migration during the Gold Rush. The Wagon Train made stops in Meyers, Strawberry Lodge, Kyburz, Fresh Pond, and High Hill Ranch before the finale in Placerville. There were living history exhibits and re-enactments, gem-panning, fire engine displays, pony rides, costume contests, and great food and music. Here are a few of the photos I took today....
