May 26, 2011 - Coloma State Park

Eight Geezers had a wonderful day today with a short hike in the historic Marshall Gold Discovery State Historic Park. The hike did include some up hill portions but they were short and only moderately strenuous. The high point on the hike offered great views of the surrounding area.
After the hike, we walked around the park's historic buildings, two churches and cemetery followed by lunch along side the south fork of the American River. Watching rafters drift by in icy cold water was our days entertainment. Before leaving for ice cream in Folsom, we visited the always popular park museum.
