We had heard it enough...you have lived in the area long enough and you haven't gone there? So it was our turn to finally go to Knight's Ferry. Of course we made it a historical lesson and learned about the time of the first ferry crossing being set up and how this correlated with the increase travelers heading up to the gold country. Wouldn't want to forget the reason why the current covered bridge was built...a flood had knocked out the old one and the mills that had been established also. Now we are even more thankful for the upstream damns.

| I will read the sign for us! |
 |
| We added some sports while we were there...badminton on the volleyball court and then whiffleball. |
 |
| Garrett won the whiffleball game with a walkoff two-run double. |

| Sticks can easily be transformed into lightsabers with a little imagination. |
