Thing You Might See On The Corner of Taylor & Old State Hwy

We're talking Newcastle CA, where the Central Pacific Railway first began operations in 1864. Though today's post is kinda-sorta transportationally (is that a word?) themed, our subject is a horse of a different color. (mainly red and yellow)

A relic from the 1939 World's Fair somehow ended up here--we suspect that this may belong to Newcastle resident Joe Bailon.   

 

Another 49er Gold Rush Town, Another Who Souvenir

In our rambles along CA 49, we've scored old Rolling Stone Who issues in Sonora and a nice B&W Who promo print in Placerville. This weekend's roadtrip found us in Auburn, where we picked up this obsolete item in a box under a table in the back of a hole-in-the-wall establishment called the "MAN CAVE".

TSG doesn't even have a player, but for $12, we couldn't resist.

Sportsman's Paradise?

Our verdict: yeah, pretty much.

(A quick run through  the Bass Pro Shop in Manteca CA)
