Yowzer!!! Just got my book and it is awesome.

My parents used to take us to Knotts once a year whenever we were doing a weekend at the relatives in Downey. We would do Disneyland about 3 times a year. Of course Disneyland was a child's dream, but Knotts held a special place in my Dad's heart. As they added rides, it also became a favorite of mine...the mine shaft was great. My Mom always brought home lots of preserves.

I remember panning for gold...posing with the miner's for pix, playing in the slanted room, yummy food, and the jail where you looked inside and the prisoner (statue) talked to you (knew your name and all about you-cause my Dad snuck behind the shack and told the speaker guy what to say...it always surprised my sister).

The book is just beautiful with such great pictures. I can hardly wait to show my Mom (91 years old now), she will really enjoy it. CONGRATULATIONS on such a fabulous accomplishment.
