California Rare pics

When most people think of California, they think of Los Angeles County: L.A., Hollywood, Disneyland... not too many people think about the other regions of California, there are 58 counties total, like the North Coast, Shasta County, Gold Country, etc...

So here are some pictures from areas of California you don't hear too much about.

The 2009 AMGEN Tour of Californa rolls though Montara, California near McNee Ranch State Park on Highway 1 during Stage 2 of the race. This race came all the way to town I work at. It was pretty neat.

His notes: California's Gold Country. About thirty miles east of Sacramento the gold strike set tens of thousands in search of their own piece of the pie. Those who got rich were the suppliers of clothes, Levi-Strauss, and equipment and booze and women. Gold country is a lovely place to hike, white water raft and stroll for antiques. I did all three. The town of Auburn burned down three times in the 1850s after that they got a real fire truck and some building codes. It was the real wild West.
