03/07/2024 - Roundabout or Signalized Intersection? Angels Camp Mobility Project Open House Today!Angels Camp, CA ...The California Department of Transportation (Caltrans), in close collaboration with the city of Angels Camp, is excited to announce a forthcoming public meeting dedicated to the Mobility Project, a key initiative aimed at addressing long-standing traffic circulation and safety concerns in the region. This invitation extends to all community members, local businesses, and media outlets to participate in a critical dialogue about the future of mobility in our area.
Event Details:
- Date: March 7
- Time: 4 pm to 8 pm
- Location: Bret Harte Multi-purpose room
The Mobility Project emerges in response to extensive studies that have identified significant traffic and safety issues along the Highway 4 and 49 corridor, particularly with the influx of hundreds of thousands of visitors annually. These concerns have prioritized the project within Caltrans' objectives, focusing on creating safer, less congested streets not just for today's generation but for future ones as well. The project's scope goes beyond Angels Camp, affecting multiple economies and communities along these vital state routes.
https://angelscamp.gov/upcoming-opportunity-to-engage-with-caltrans-on-the-mobility-project-shaping-our-future-together/
This initiative represents a pivotal opportunity for our community to come together, voice concerns, and contribute to a comprehensive plan that addresses both current and future mobility needs. The project underscores a collective effort to enhance the quality of life for residents, ensure the safety of our roads for businesses and visitors, and support the economic vitality of the region.
We cordially invite members of the press to share this information with the public and join us at the event. Your participation is crucial in raising awareness about the Mobility Project and its importance to our community's future. Interviews with Caltrans officials and city representatives will be available to provide further insights into the project's goals, expected outcomes, and how it will shape the landscape of transportation in Angels Camp and beyond.
The California Department of Transportation is dedicated to enhancing California's economy and livability by improving its transportation network. Caltrans manages over 50,000 miles of California's highway and freeway lanes, provides inter-city rail services, and supports public transportation across the state.
We look forward to engaging with our community and the press on March 7. Together, we can forge a path toward a more mobile, safe, and vibrant future for everyone in our region.

03/03/2024 - What the Miners Left Behind & it Wasn't Just Shovels & Bottles! Save the Date! March 3rd LecturAngels Camp, CA...Join Us Sunday, March 3rd, 2024, 2:00-3:00 pm at Angels Camp Museum Carriage House. Our Speaker: Rich Lundin, Twain-Harte resident and Geologist. What the Miners Left Behind And it wasn't just shovels and bottles!
About Rich: Rich Lundin is Twain-Harte resident and Geologist with a mining and mineral exploration background. He’s worked in far flung places such as Australia and Saudia Arabia and is also a Remote Sensing Specialist in Airbourne and Archaeogeophysics. He has managed and investigated mineral exploration and deposits for private parties, corporations, federal, state, and municipal owners in several states; and has done environmental studies, environmental assessments, surveys and testing on cultural and mineral resources. As a Historical Archaeologist, Rich conducted archaeological investigations and research implementing the use of Archaeogeophysics and Archaeogeochemistry. You can also find Rich on YouTube!
What the Miner’s Left Behind
Join us for an intriguing exploration into the California Gold Rush with our esteemed speaker. Delve into the fascinating topic of "What the Miners Left Behind" and uncover the hidden treasures and overlooked artifacts that tell a different aspect of this historic era.
Our speaker will guide us through the discoveries made by the Calaveras Gem & Minerals Society, shedding light on the overlooked treasures found amidst the mine waste accumulations from dredge tailings. Learn how a group of dedicated individuals unearthed a series of cobbles laden with visible gold, offering a glimpse into the miners' pursuits and practices.
When the miners were living at say Moccasin creek, or any of the 26 various prospecting locations, they lived there and left their junk behind. Rich will also be bringing artifacts they found such as old bottles and shovels and he will have a portion of a gold boulder that a member found that has 5-10 oz of gold left in it! In addition to the tailings and the cobbles the miners left behind a lot of Mariposite because they couldn’t see the gold it could have revealed – they were looking for coarse gold that they could easily get out of the rock. He’ll talk about the significance of fine gold concealed within the slurry and dirt discarded by the miners (fine gold is only visible with hand lenses not available until 1922) and then available only to professional geologists.)
Join us to learn how modern analysis techniques and technologies have unveiled the hidden value within these overlooked materials, from precious metals to rare earth elements.
Ready for Adventure?
Four times a year, Rich gets adults, children, any interested adventurers out in the field for an unforgettable experience of gold panning and metal detecting that is exciting and helps expand our understanding of the California Gold Rush and the treasures it left behind. The last excursion was Oct 17, 2023.
The next outing is still being planned and will be near the first bridge of Moccasin Creek toward Mariposa and the other one will be farther up river, is more remote so will be more strenuous. There is a maximum number of participants and Rich will have more information available at the Lecture.
All are welcome. Arrive early for refreshments.
