Og det fortalte vi om, da vi kom hjem, men folk kiggede bare på os, som om vi var tovlige. Så den her gang tog vi billeder! So, this is the thing. Himself and his favorite Mrs. Dub went to Tahoe once upon a time and on the way there we passed Coloma, and we saw a fence with boots on. And we told people when we got back, and they'd just look at us like we were a bit around the bend. So here are pictures!   Coloma Gold Discovery Site, California
