The press is so incompetent. The headline says "Lode woman..." In the body of the article she is referred to as a "Willow Springs resident" a "retired Sonora Elementary bus driver" and a "28-year Tuolumne County resident." No where do the mention "Lode" again. Is everyone in the country supposed to know what the heck they're talking about? I'm going to take a guess and say the state in question is Nevada. I know it's a side issue but I feel like I know less not more after reading an article like this.

Who knows, maybe the author is providing her cover from the Hit-lery squad.

>Lode Woman...< After reading the story twice, they must be referring to the vicinity she came from. Sonora is Gold country and the miners referred to the area as the Mother Lode?

The term “Lode” refers to the Mother Lode aka Gold Country area of Tuolumne County her in Central California.

The article itself is from the “Union Democrat” boasts itself to be the oldest newspaper in the Mother Lode dating back into the late 1800’s.

Tuolumne county is in CA, as is Sonora. It is hard to imagine any other state with a Tuolumne. This area is famous for its Indian names, Tuolumne, Mokolomne etc. Sounds like she is from here.
