Sacramento Saunter

On our first morning in Sacramento The Sprout woke up early. Much to early for the rest of the team so I bundled her up and took her out for a walk. I decided to head over to the California State Capitol Mall. There were a bunch of waymarks in the area I wanted to visit and a benchmark that was historic in nature that I wanted to see as well. The Sacramento Longditude-Granite Meridian Stone-1888 is one of the original survey markers for a very early survey in The West.


The park is really beautiful and The Sprout had a blast walking about and looking at the different sites. I was able to place several waymarks in the area in addition to the many that were already there. My favorite surprise of the day was a El Camino Real Bell that I didn't know was there. When I had researched them before coming down it looked like the closest would have been out of my reach to visit or waymark.


After we had wandered through the park a while I got a call from Mrs. Bean. She and The Bean Himself were up and ready for some breakfast and the day.
