Landmark #799 | Nevada County | Visited: May 12, 2012 | Plaque? NO. 🙁 |
What is it? | A plaque foundation on the side of the road! (UPDATE: I hear rumor that this plaque has since been replaced!) |
What makes it historical? | THE GUIDE SAYS: Over a hundred years ago, this trail resounded to creaking wheels of pioneer wagons and the cries of hardy travelers on their way to the gold fields. It is estimated that over thirty thousand people used this trail in 1849. Here the old trail approaches the present highway.
OTHER TIDBITS: That pretty well sums it up! |
