Angel's Camp CA

Travelling on Hwy 50 took us to Lake Tahoe.  Although the water level is down a little, there is still a lot of lake, not like the half dozen large lakes we’ve seen in the past couple of days that are totally dried up.  So sad.

We walked around downtown Placerville, a quaint gold rush town, which was very reminiscent of Deadwood, South Dakota.  Placerville was named after the gold deposits found in the 1840’s although its most common historical name is Hangtown because of the numerous hangings that occurred there.

We’ve ended up in Angel’s Camp for the night and tomorrow we start heading to the coast – it’s very hot – low 90’s and the air conditioning in the cab has decided to go on strike.  We still have the A/C on the roof so all is not lost.
