We spent a Sunday afternoon exploring the towns near Roseville. We drove up to Lincoln, then along gorgeous country roads to Loomis, Penryn, Newcastle, and Auburn.
We stopped in Auburn to enjoy the landmark that welcomes you to the historic part of Aurburn. This town has a terrific historic area that is perfect for shopping, dining, and strolling.
This is a huge statue of Claude Chana, the man who discovered gold in the Auburn ravine and founded the town. Fools gold in the pan? Nope. That’s the real thing!
This is a beautiful tree that is all around the Sacramento area. It’s like a lilac, but there is no scent. I am not sure what it is, but the camera does not do it justice with the color.
