Judy reveled in the dry, clear air and slept very well. We made a dubious choice and headed back east to the Marshall Discovery State Historic Site. It is very well done, but the smoke was too present for Judy and we headed for Auburn to eat lunch and then drove to Grass Valley, which we decided is a misnomer. It has a lot of trees, but no grass. We enjoyed the Empire Gold Mine State Historic Site. The thought of working two miles underground was not appealing. The Bourne family owned the mines, and their gardens are still beautifully kept. We went to the cemetery to try to find one of Judy's Pegar relatives, but it is a large one with no office, and many of the graves are cement slabs with the name on a plaque at the end. We were not up to such an undertaking. Unfortunately the Auburn Library did not have a strong enough Wifi to let us do our work. So back to Granite Bay to discover that we had a scout troop for neighbors. They went to bed at a reasonable hour, and we slept well.
