Fabulous Folsom Part I

My big friends and I went to Folsom Powerhouse State Historic Park.



We scrounged up five dollars worth of coins for the parking fee since none of us had any one- or five-dollar bills.



The powerhouse utilized water power from the awesome American River to produce electricity.



It operated from 1895 to 1952 and provided electricity for Sacramento, which previously had relied soley on steam power for its electricity.





The guest book.



One of my big friends signed me in since the pen was so big for me.  But she forgot the exclamation mark at the end of "It rocks" so I added that myself.  Awesome!

  1. How much help were you at scrounging up the coins considering a pen was too heavy for you to lift?
