Didn't post these yesterday, but if you like a bit of history, we always try and swing by a museum or place of historical nature while traveling with the tour groups.

Last two rides through here, I've been fortunate to have fellas with me that spoke and read a bit of Chinese, so they supplemented the docent's talk for us.
Always interesting to learn the local history when you're out riding.:thumbsup:

The Weaverville Joss House, a Taoist temple, is the oldest continuously used Chinese temple in California. On display are art objects, pictures, mining tools, and weapons used in the 1854 Tong War. This Taoist temple is still a place of worship and a fascinating look into the role played by Chinese immigrants in early California history. The Joss House was built in 1874 as a replacement for another that had burned.

In an effort to preserve this important part of California's Chinese tradition, the Weaverville Joss House became a part of the California State Park System in 1956. Many of the historical objects have been restored and the structure itself stabilized. In addition to the temple equipment, park visitors will see Chinese art objects, pictures, mining tools, and wrought iron weapons used in the 1854 Tong War.
The Chinese population of Weaverville started to decline after the 1850s, as gold ore became scarcer, and many left to work on railroad construction.

By 1931 only 16 were counted in town. In 1933 the Weaverville Chamber of Commerce went on record in support of making the Joss House a State Historic Park, but nothing came of the proposal for another 23 years. Without the efforts of Moon Lim Lee, the Weaverville Joss House probably would not have survived.

I am saving now for a trip to California to go on one of these Pashnit tours. I wonder how long it takes a Busa to get to California from Tennessee riding that is. Although riding a few thousand miles to go on a bike tour for another thousand miles then a few thousand back home wow thats a long time on a bike any bike. I could probably catch Sleepless Red in one trip:poke:
