April 10-11 - the move to Nevada City

Before we left our Loomis campground, we walked into the town of Loomis. Loomis. Loomis takes its name from one the of town's pioneers, James Loomis. At one time, James Loomis was the whole town—saloon keeper, railroad agent, express agent, and postmaster. In the early part of the 20th century, Loomiswas the second largest fruit-shipping station in Placer County.

There’s a large fruit warehouse that was made into a nursery and cafe. It’s fun to just walk through and look at all the plants. 

Left Loomis and headed north to the Nevada County Fairgrounds where we will spend the next week at their campground. 

Shan and Carl have a couple projects for us to help them ... a new gas fire pit and a pavilion. Started with the fire pit. 

After listening to Faith Church’s modern worship, we headed to hike Buttermilk Bend, along the South Yuba with Shan and the dogs. The wildflowers were in full bloom. 

The dogs had to get in the water for a bit before we headed back to Shan and Carl’s. 

There definitely wasn’t as much water flowing down the Yuba as usual in the spring but there was enough to dip our toes. 

Nevada city at night reminds me of downtown Bellefonte with their lights.
