Handbag Road Trip!

I recently won a very lovely handbag/tote from the American West company....
So today my new tote bag and I went on a road trip through Gold Country...
We drove through Mariposa.... on up..
 Mariposa, a sweet little community along the Gold route...
 our next stop was Coulterville,,,, many of these small towns have become tourists stops to stay alive... with fun eateries and Antique shops and lots of history...
 Then Bear Valley.... don't blink or you will miss it...
 This town has a very sad, dark history.... and the community looks like it is disappearing into history...
 Another sweet little town  with some interesting shops...
 We drove up through Sonora and over to Twain Harte.... which is a cool get-away cabin community.

 Then we traveled back down to Don Pedro and checked out the river... lots of cool House Boats....

Well all in all, we have a great sight seeing drive...
To quote a phrase from the movie, 'Doc Hollywood'... "Get off the interstate Ben Stone"... in other words,,,, sometimes we need to take a trip, a journey...on the path less traveled....

Hope your handbag had as nice a day as mine!
Wagons HO!
