I have a historical fiction middle grade novel set in California in 1855 and stumbled on a great event taking place at Columbia State Historic Park, where they recreate the 1852 town of tents and shacks that sprang up in 1982 in the wake of the discovery of gold. Hundreds of volunteers put a great deal of effort and research into this event, to depict as accurately as possible the original town. I'm thinking this is a road trip waiting to happen...and I could write it off. Research—you know what I'm saying? For more info on the "Columbia Diggins" event check out the website. If you live in southern Cal and are up for a road trip, drop me a line. Greg
