This town is a dream for the western movies lovers! All has been kept like in the 1800's. Some people live there but most of them only come for work and leave after. They wear original costumes. The town has also a school, a jail and a cemetary.

In San Franciso, we had an apointment with a Bonanza buddy, coming from another state. Unfortunately at the last moment (after we made all the reservations for hotels), she changed her mind and emailed me she wouldn't come. If we had known it BEFORE, we would have stayed longer in Yosemite or maybe spend one night in Columbia, as there is also an hotel,instead of spending four nights in SF.

C'est une ville de reve pour les amoureux de westerns. Cette ville a ete conservee telle qu'elle etait dans les annees 1800. Elle est d'autant mieux entretenue que des gens y travaillent et certains y vivent. Les employes sont tous en costume d'epoque. Il y a des commerces, une ecole, une prison, un cimetiere et meme un hotel.

A San Francisco, nous aurions du retrouver sur place une copine du site Bonanza, qu vit dans un autre etat. Helas, a la derniere minute, une fois que nous avions reserve tous les hotels de notre voyage ainsi que les billets d'avion, elle a change d'avis. Si nous l'avions su plus tot, nous aurions passe plus de temps a Yosemite ou a Columbia, et moins de temps a San Francisco.

Sur les marches de l'ecole - on the school stairs

The classroom - la salle de classe

The school is outside the town, nearby the cemetary. On the road from city center to school, there are beautiful modern houses. As the owners of the houses were there, I didn't dare taking pictures. But almost three years later, I still recall these houses!

L'ecole est a l'exterieur de la ville, pres du cimetiere ! Sur la route menant du centre ville a l'ecole, il y a des maisons modernes magnifiques. Comme la plupart des proprietaires etaient presents, je n'ai pas ose prendre de photo. Mais presque trois ans apres, je me souviens encore de ces maisons.

The biggest candys store I ever seen!   La plus grande boutique de bonbons que j'ai jamais vue !
