Groveland 9/18/2011

We had a great time seeing Yosemite National Park. It was our last day in the Yosemite area and we decided to visit the town of Groveland, an old gold rush town. The have a jail that was built in 1895 and a saloon in 1892. We had lunch at the Iron Door Saloon the oldest operating saloon in California. It reminded me of Froggy's on Main Street in Daytona Beach. They even had dollar bills stuck to the ceiling. Groveland is a small town with not much to do, but it does have some history.

Monday took us to on a very curvy road to Three Rivers. We had to go back out on Hwy 120, which has lots of curves and steep grades over to Hwy 49 which has steeper grades and more curves than Hwy 120. This area of California has made the duramax and allison to earn their keep:) There is a lot of farm land, with corn fields, almonds, pistachios, oranges and other fruits and vegetables. This area of California produces a lot of crops consumed in the US.
