Donner Memorial State Park

Sorry, not the best picture:-(
The park is located up in the Sierra Nevada mountain among such spectacular pine trees. The park is in remembrance and honor the Donner Party who were forced to camp in the winter of 1846-47 and subsequently trapped by the worst winters snow fall. The park approximately has 2,500 acres that boast some interesting geologic history.

The park is located 100 miles east of Sacramento Interstate 80, and within the town of Truckee.

There lots of things to see and do here.

 Tahoe is a great place for a getaway. Lots to do with such spectacular scenery. I have not been able to trace my ancestry past the mid 1800s. So many records are probably lost or unavailable, so its tough to get much further.
