Oh, The Places You'll Go! Cool

Cool was crowded, probably because it was such a small town (road construction played its part too). I don't know, but I'm guessing this is pretty much all there is to the town of Cool:

The fellow checking the electric meter is a permanent Trompe L'oeil feature

A nearby parking lot has enjoys this mural:
A window into his soul?

Oh, The Places You'll Go! Placerville


Wish my camera was working better--I'd have more photos of Placerville if it were. Next to the marker for Snowshoe Thompson is the historic marker for the Placerville Pony Express Station and Terminous:

On the road again,
Can't wait to get back on the road again

Friends from France / Cabin Trip.
Here's my proposed route.

Day 7, 11/8/2010 - Critter Count

Early morning bird and frog song, with crisp autumn air. I relished hours working outdoors in the sun on a glorious autumn day. I am practising being easy going and accepting. It's harder than you'd think, but easier here than elsewhere.

Critter count - 4 deer (3 does, 1 two point buck)
2 Alligator Lizards

Neighbors

This morning's visitors. Properly speaking, they aren't visitors...they live here too.


Two point buck--startled by the digital shutter sound of the camera.



Posing
The colorful things hanging from the trees are autumn leaves.
Oh! and there are strings of origami cranes from Martha & John's wedding last June.
