The Celebrated Jumping Frog of Rawhide Road

We rode on Route 49 in California, on the way from Jackson to an unknown hotel within striking distance of Yosemite.

South of Angel's Camp, across the Robinson's Ferry bridge, the road takes a strange convulsive path just before Jamestown. I didn't know where I was, just following the GPS. At the request of the GPS, I turned from 49 onto something called Co Rd E5, which we learned was also known as Rawhide Road.

T was immediately intrigued. The properties along the road had a unique Western look. Several of the properties were (no doubt still are) for sale. I saw a wonderful old windmill, with flat metal blades, squared off at the ends.
