Wagon Train
Lens: #2 Camera: Q7 Photo Location: Pollock Pines ISO: 400 Shutter Speed: 1/350s Aperture: F4.5

In the 1840�s the lure of gold beckoned adventurous souls to make the arduous journey west over Echo Summit and down the Highway 50 corridor. To preserve this vital aspect of California�s history, men, women and children in authentic wagons recreate the journey of these intrepid emigrants. The caravan of horses and wagons forming the �Wagon Train� starts in Zephyr Cove Nevada and lumbers down Highway 50 for a week-long trek that culminates in Placerville.This was shot in Pollock Pines Ca. This is an annual event every June.

Very nice photograph. So cool to see how things were done way back when. You have a great capture here with some very colorful wagons, wheels, horses and of course the beautiful forestry. Many thanks,

Antonio
