ZONC Mother Lode Run, 11/04

[Zron]

On November 4th, ZONC wil be having a run through some of the old towns that sprang up during the gold rush days. Some of the buildings are still in use today.

The run will be leaving Placerville at 10:30 with planned stops at El Dorado, Sutter Creek and the Historical part of Jackson, all of which are on Highway 49. An interesting note, one town the run will pass through will be Nashville, CA.

The Starting point will be Mels Diner parking area and if you choose to arrive early you have the choice of Carrows, Buttercup Pantry and Mels for breakfast, all of which are across the street from each other and then tour old town Placerville until it's time to start.

The tour will end in Valley Springs with a NO HOST late lunch/early dinner at Good Friend Chinese restaurant. The cost for dinner will be in the $15 per person neighborhood and if you don't like Chinese food there is a Round Table and Burger King across the street.

To get to the starting point take Highway 50 to Placerville to the Canal Street STOPLIGHT and turn South on Canal then a quick left on Main to Mels.

This past week has generated quite a bit of interest. Looking forward to a good turnout.

NOTE: When the group reaches Jackson, participants will have the option of visiting the shops, taking the walking tour (I will have maps and descriptions) or, if you have some loose change you want to dispose of, visiting the Jackson Rancheria Casino.
