If you like tokens and medals, and are within striking distance of Jackson, California near the foot of the famous Mother Lode, just a couple hours from Yosemite, you should try to come. There are many places to see in the region, including the original gold discovery site at Coloma, the quaint mining camps of Murphy’s, Angel’s Camp (Mark Twain and his Jumping Frogs), Sonora, and of course the fabulous wines of the Foothill Belt – you won’t want to miss it!
