Gold Country: Tabeau Lake, Jellystone, Mt. Zion St. Park, Black Chasm

This was another brilliant camping trip, in Gold Country, Amador County, CA, in the Sierra Madres Foothills. Had fun at Lake Tabeau, thereabouts Mt. Zion State Park, and wine and ranch country. Panned for gems and gold at Black Chasm: Got a few small emeralds, iron pyrite of course, and pretty quartzes such as raspberry quartz.

We camped at Jellystone – Fun place, nice bathrooms/showers, good wifi signal to the campsites, nice swimming pool, arcade room, general store, lodge, etc. Neat old general store in Pine Grove.
