You were but a few miles from Angles Camp.
The location for The Celebrated Jumping Frog of Calaveras County.
The cabin where Samuel Clemens wrote it is still there.
good thing you’re headed to the coast. The Big Valley will be 105deg tomorrow. Ouch.
Stopped at the McDonald’s in Angels Camp for a bite for breakfast. Quite warm here in Willits now but the coast should be cooler tomorrow. Going to Shelter Cove, one way in and out. I’m a fool for “end of the road” places.
