  • Well Frogjump I'm sorry that you didn't like MY set of photos on this site. FYI this was a 2-1/2 day trip, accomplished from out of state, and planned to hit MOST of the Mother Lode towns in a rental car. I'm thinking that for a 2-1/2 day trip we managed to accomplish quite a bit. As far as what was easy to capture for pics of general interest, Angel's Camp and Murphy's didn't offer up that much. Murphy's was PACKED with tourists the moment we were there and didn't offer many scenes that wouldn't be crammed with people instead of real estate and scenery.

  • I'm very disappointed with this album! Your comment with the Angels Camp sign, along with ignoring San Andreas, Angels Camp, and Murpheys because it's 'built up' in the last 30 years shows an ignorance of where the "Mother Lode" had it's origins. I grew up in Angels Camp and left in '75. Jobs were scarce then. Now they're thriving communities, still rich in the heritage the Forefathers, and Mark Twain, gave us. I suggest less pictures of motels and areas off the beaten path and more of the historical areas you so blatently ignored. You obviously spent no time with locals, being directed to places such as the small cabin Mark Twain lived in when Angels Camp was a mining town. We had a gold mine on our 40-acre ranch just outside of town! The charm and history is thriving for those willing to dig a little, and take pictures worth displaying in Webshots. Your album is a blatement embarrasement on your behalf. Next time do the homework.
