This is the cabin of Samuel Clemmins (Mark Twain) where he lived while in California. This is the cabin where he wrote, The Celebrated Jumping Frog of Calavaras County. Angels Camp is in Calavaras County. So as you can imagine Mark Twain and frogs are very popular here. The picture is not great but we are deep into rattle snake country (not to mention all of the poison oak) and I was not about to get out of the car to get a good picture.
These pictures are taken with our Nikon, while the car is moving. I love our camera. We don't miss anything!
If you look in the middle of these mountain you will see a large grouping of rocks. That is an old gold mine.
As you can see most of this country is very dry. It is full of canyons, valleys and hills. After driving these winding, twisting, dangerous roads, I have a new respect for the pioneers who settled this area. It couldn't of been easy maneuvering a covered wagon over these hills and canyons.
