Main street Angels Camp, California home of the Calaveras Jumping Frog contest. I came here with my  3rds and 5th grade classes to see the contest. It is an old gold rush town.

Main street of Sonora, California. It was also an old gold rush town. The roads to the cidery was steep and narrow, the last road was a one lane road.
