Sutter Gold Mine Trip

One of our day adventures was out to the Sutter Gold Mine up by Sutter Creek and Amador City...for folks back home think Waldorf or New Richland sized. We had a little time to kill before our tour so we went back to Amador City and toured their main street.



They had a couple cute little shops I wouldn't mind stopping into again...these pics our of their outdoor decor. The shop took over 3 store fronts and second story...I could have stayed in them for hours looking at their stuff.




Mom spotted this peddle plane at one of the antique shops...she thought they had one of these at some point...this one was only going for $3999...a real deal ;p


A view of some main street shops.



Eventually we had to head back to catch our tour.





Off we go into the mine...



They had some equipment depicting the different ways the mine had been used over the years.





In all it was a good little trip...and we are glad that we got to go in. They are making plans to stop giving tours so that they can start mining for gold again since prices are so high.
