We get a couple of newspapers here at Chez Souza. I have to walk all of the way down there to get them in the morning and today the headlines were bold about Mr Obama, in the Chronicle and also in the Sacramento Bee (this paper is going to go away). Yup...politics. I pulled off the blue wrapper of The Mountain Democrat and there was the picture to thrill me to the marrow...the reason that I moved up here.

When I read that this annual event was going to be happening on a Mommy Weekend for Mr Schnickle, I could not wait to participate in the festivities. We were up here a couple of weeks later last year and so this is the first year to be a Placerville resident, cheering on the arrival of the wagons (there are fewer of them this year, due to the costs involved in such an endeavor) making the trek from Nevada, west on highway 50.
This photo shows the wagons heading west toward Echo Summit and that is Lake Tahoe in the background. Thrilling. I just know that I will get all teary eyed when I see them this Saturday, rolling in to town for the festivities that welcome them, there in the parking lot of the newspaper, the oldest in the west. I just love this stuff...
