Hello again now that I’m finally able to sit down I find that I can write but before I do I ask for prayers, California is quite literally on fire between The Carr Fire over in the Redding area and close to us we have two major fires going Thr Ferguson Fire has closed down Yosemite indefinitely and The Donnell family they fear has destroyed Dardanelle’s Resort. Our local economy is going to take a serious hit and California is now in a state of emergency! Prayers as always are appreciated
And now on to the fun stuff Friday Amber came up with her boyfriend and Dad and we went to St Charles Saloon For Lunch man the pizza was good but I went there because I wanted them to see the front bar my Grandfather rebuild in the 1970’s he was a well known and respected cabinet maker and woodworker up here!
Headed over to the Saloon to enjoy a delicious pizza and of course Sasparilla
The front bar my Grandfather was commissioned to do before he retired! Sadly he passed away in 86 shortly before I was nine after a short battle with Leukemia! He did beautiful work on the bar though!
This bar also serves as a Pub and kids are allowed so we took Little Miss for the day too!
The kids are all seriously growing up lol!
Afterwards I showed them the Mercantile
Actually got a pic of Amber’s Dad too Lol!

We’ve had a little bit of fire and smoke….but nothing like that…I’m so sorry, that’s not good.
As for the rest, that’s great….terrific photos, thank you for sharing it with us all!
Thank you so much! It’s bad here in California the worst Fire season in recent history!
We have 16 major fires as of today. Prayers to all ~~
What a great day and that bar is fabulous. Thank you for taking us along. My grandson is in Redding. I just don’t know what to say. That monster is huge. I havent been looking at the map lately..just too sad. My river area is gone, well the river is still there, but nothing is left.
We lost Dardanelle’s resort! It’s completely heartbreaking! We needed to take a day just to get away from it all! Good thing I live a block from.Old Town!
I love this kind of outdoor fun and these photos are lovely 🙂
Cool journey you shared. Love the old miners cabin and time stops for nobody!
So true and thank you for your kind words!
Very nice photos, good post.
