Eastern California- Part 2/4 (LAWS & MONO COUNTY)
Brian returns to his home state of California, this time to the state's rural far east, to show you landscapes, history and culture, not typically associated with the Golden State.
In Part 2, Brian bids farewell to the Gold Country and sets off for the Eastern Sierras, traveling through the unusual Alpine County. The only county in California with no incorporated city. After conquering the scenic Monitor Pass, Brian arrives in the Eastern Sierras, at Topaz Lake. From there he travels to Bridgeport and Mono Lake. After failing to reach Obsidian Dome, Brian heads to the colorful hot springs of the Long Valley Caldera. From there he attempts to reach the mysterious columns of Crowley Lake, but the road once again has other plans. Brian has no choice but to abandon his mission, and proceed to his next destination, the old railroad town of Laws, where he gets to experience a bit of the local history.

Knights Ferry Covered Bridge in Knights Ferry, CA
I took a trip to visit Knights Ferry earlier this year. This small town from the gold rush days is located off of CA highway 120 in the Sierra Nevada Foothills. Its main tourist draw is the covered bridge, which is the largest in America West of the Mississippi River (330 Ft long). There are also remnants of the old mill near the bridge.

Yuma Visitor's Bureau Guided Bus Tour - GM Employee Initiation Trip Part 2, 4 October 2007,
It's like when you run the Dynos
Cool [Dome Valley] [Wellton Hotel]
And she is the manager in that, office and she has graciously
agreed to show us the site, so she'll be with us tonight and tomorrow and she's been a great job, I know there's been some of us that have come down and looked around a little and Julie's helped us out and she agreed to do it again so we didn't screw up to awful bad anyways with that I'll turn it over to her
I'm really honored to be invited to do this. It's just an awesome privilege to welcome you to this wonderful community and I also want to share that I was in the same shoes 12 years ago and that's before Yuma was this That's when Yuma didn't come up a lot and it turned out to be one of the best decisions we ever made our family and I know it's an individual decision for everyone, but, in our case it turned out to be fantastic. And I want to thank all of you for coming and we have a very fun evening planned and we have an even better day tomorrow. Planned so, I guess with that, we'll get started. This is Yuma Palms, and this is our newest shopping center
It is an outdoor type facility. It's a Westcor Development, which they have done all over the Metro Phoenix Area so you might be familiar with this. I also have to say I did look very hard for any GMC to stand next to in this parking lot and I couldn't find one cause I caught a raft of grief every trip when I show up in my Toyota. And that will change, I promise when all of you get here, I'll change. And not only that, this has been the funnest groups I've had. It's ironic when we each drive the neighborhoods It's not the houses that we're really looking at We pick each street we go down by what's parked in the driveway. And I admire that, I really do, because I grew up with a father and 3 brothers that that's all they talk about their Mopar. And I'm very sorry about that as well
Yeah, I know, I just can't win, can I. So with that we'll get started, we'll go this way the Mall is pretty well spread out It's a pretty large area Most of the main anchors are in this facility If you just want to go this right here Okay, sorry. We'll go down this direction
Everything is on this side except for Burlington Coat Factory
Sears Mervins I'm going to be in your lap. Sears, Mervin's, Burlington Coat Factory and some other in a Southgate Mall.
That is on the other side of town, but this is where the biggest cluster of retail is located. and a lot of our hospitality is located down here. This area that is just to our south is what we call the Village and it's uh, Kind of a horseshoe shape and at the end of that horseshoe is Harkin's Theater. And it is just a really great area to hang out and have all kinds of venues offered to you. Shopping, eating, from sit down to fast food, Cold Stone Creamery all of those are down there so, Just a, yes, please. Also at the other location is Big 5, so Sports Authority and Foot Locker and those are at this one and Big 5 is at the other one. I understand we have some hunters fishers, off road enthusiasts in this group, so, we're trying to appeal to that side. If you want to take a look out that side of your window, that is the Village area. Like I said we have Sushi, Sports Bars, it's all walking and it is really heavily used we had a consultant here last night, who went down there and of course the Diamondbacks are playing so the Sport's Bar was pretty busy, but he was, he shared with me today that he was just amazed with the amount of foot traffic down there, so It does get frequented quite often. We have a lot of, of proposed, not necessarily proposed, actually the land is in escrow the projects are, have been permits filed on so these projects are going to happen they're all going to happen kind of in this vicinity, so I'd like to point out where that's going to be right after we turn right up, yeah Right at this Stop sign.
We have an event center that is going to be built. I don't know if any of you have been up to Prescott Valley They just have a brand new Arena up there and the same company that building one in Yuma. So we will be on the same Circuit as that that Arena as well, so we'll be having the same entertainment venues as they have. It'll be a semi-pro hockey league We will host Ice Capades
Rodeos, Tractor Pulls indoor, Indoor Soccer Indoor Football and then a Semi-Pro Hockey League and that's going to happen
Right up here on the other side of the road where the stop light is.
But on this side, just past the storage place There is a hotel, that is building a water park and there decision was final when they found out the Event Center was coming. So we're going to have a Water Park too and that's going to be a Public Water Park It's not just for, people who are visiting the hotel. It'll be open to the Public.
So that Water Park

North Fork Stanislaus River Rafting
One of California's most beautiful Sierra springtime runs, the North Stanislaus is a technical Class IV creek, featuring crystal clear water flowing through large granite boulders and beautiful redwoods in the heart of Calaveras Big Trees State Park.
Located about two hours from the San Francisco Bay Area.
More about the North Fork of the Stanislaus River:
North Fork Stanislaus River - Class IV+ Whitewater Rafting Trips
A well-kept secret, the North Fork of the Stanislaus River features exciting Class IV+ rapids in a high elevation alpine scenery and close proximity to groves of Giant Sequoia Redwoods in Calaveras Big Trees State Park. This river is best suited for athletic and adventurous rafters as intense and technical paddling is required.
Less than a minute from put-in, you'll crash through Class IV Beginner's Luck, which is an immense staircase of drops, descending a total of 15-feet. After that wake-up call, the whitewater keeps coming in tight chutes and boulder-choked passageways like The Claw and Wallet Slot.
When the mood strikes, we'll stop for lunch on a forested riverside bank. Back on the water, there are still many Class III-IV challenges waiting downstream. The final rapid is Sequoia Sluice, and because it's one of the biggest rapids, it serves as an appropriate climax to an intense day of rafting.
