A Nice Quiet Time at the Belltower
 

 
A walk in the park in Coloma led to a church and belltower. It was very quiet while walking in the area, very calm and tranquil. The old tower and building led me to think how things must have been a hundred years ago before the local tourist.

Monument in Marshall Park
 

 
If you get a chance to visit Marshall Park in the Coloma, CA – be sure to get over to the monument. John W. Marshall is credited for being the first to find gold in Coloma, this led to the Gold Rush and changed California forever.
 
Though he did find gold, he was not much of a business man, and walked away to get a regular job working for someone else.

coloma: Church in Coloma - Wordless Service - 07/05/14 03:25 PM
 

 


We stumbled upon this old church up in the foothills yesterday. It is about 100 years old and looking through the windows we could see the cozy little service. I loved the woodwork and hand build details; details that you don’t see today. One day we will get to see the inside tour.

Hitting the Hiking Trails in Coloma
 

 
 
 
It was a last minute idea this morning, but my wife and I thought hiking might be a good way to get out for some exercise on a Saturday morning. By the time we got on the trail it was about 10:00 and the temps already in the 80's. It was a fun little hike in Coloma starting on the North Beach area.
When we finish and were heading back to the car, we walked over the bridge and watched the people floating and paddling down the river. It … (4 comments)

Quiet Morning Down on the River

 
I had a chance to go down to the River near Coloma this morning. A few short months ago the water was flowing rapidly, but now things have slowed to a slow calm pace. It was great to take a little time on this Labor Day!

Rich in history and a fun place to visit with nature – Coloma, CA
 
There is a landmark in Coloma at the Sutter’s Mill Site that is right on the river. It is a rather large wall with the official marking stating that it is an historical landmark. Apparently John Sutter and his crew discovered gold in this area, the history of the gold discovery and the subsequence “rush” to California is well documented.
If you are ever in the Coloma, CA area you will likely drive right through the state park. Take a few minutes and see … (10 comments)

coloma: Cold and Swift Current in Coloma - 05/03/12 12:18 PM
 

As the weather has gotten warmer the snow pack is melting and the water flowing down the hill has picked up noticeably. This and the recent rains have made for rapid, cold water traveling down the American River and into Folsom Lake.
This photo was taken from a walking path in the town of Coloma near Highway 49.
