Everywhere you go….Curly Larry and Moe. From Bob Latchaw’s lips to God’s ears.
Here in fact, where we are is clearly marked. And so it was.
This particular map shows the location of my recent jaunt north to the county known as Plumas.
In the county known as Plumas, there are many interesting phenomenon. The first, and by far the most spectacular can only be called the Brigadoon effect.
It was most obvious when watching the parade on Saturday, or just listening to neighbors gossip at the fair. Quincy which is the county seat, is only one Goober short of a Mayberry.
And sis, just so you know….I only pretended not to be afraid of heights. These were taken from high atop the kiddy Ferris wheel. Boy am I glad the big one wasn’t running.
And it’s not just about the rides oh no. This is the real deal County Fair. For instance, ya got yer rodeo…
And ya got yer friendly pet rooster.
And even Arnold the pig from Green Acres.
The big grandstand event on the second night was the Lumberjack contest. The stands were SRO. And since lumbering is an important commercial enterprise in the region, these were real lumberjacks. When interviewed after the performance, not one of them could even hum the Monty Python “Lumberjack” song. I rest my case.
Next – The parade. Episode two. Check back often. Both of you.
