Amador County, CA

California

One of our favorite lakes for kayaking and hiking. In the distance you can see a forest fire. California has so many severe fires affecting so many people I love. Please keep good thoughts/prayers for those who have lost so much.

This is the notorious Preston Castle which was a reform school that closed in 1960. If not for the efforts of the Preston Castle Foundation the State of California would have had it torn down.
