Good to hear!!! Everyone keep up the good work with those rain dances!

Good news, Californians. The water content of the snowpack in the Sierra at the location where Wednesday's survey was taken is 136 percent of normal for this time of year. Nearly 12 months ago, the water content of the snowpack was at 45 percent of the historical average. That's progress!

We've got a delivery to a small California town we had never heard of before...have you? Its Soulsbyville in Tuolumne County. Here is a little bit of information about it for you.

Soulsbyville is located eight miles east of Sonora Highway 108. The town is all residential with one local market and a post office. The population of Soulsbyville was 2,215 at the 2010 census, up from 1,729 at the 2000 census. Formerly a California Gold Rush town, Soulsbyville is now registered as a California Historical Landmark.

Soulsbyville is named after Ben Soulsby, who resided in the area during the California Gold Rush. Soulsby ran a lumber mill near the intersection of Community Drive and Soulsbyville Road. His contribution to society is forever embossed in the following elementary school song: "Drop on by, we're up the hill. We're the kids from Soulsbyville. See the town with the old saw mill, we're the kids from Soulsbyville. Living here is mighty fine, named for Ben Soulsby's old gold mine, come see us, if you will. WE'RE THE KIDS FROM SOULSBYVILLE!".

In January 2007, the visit of a smew, a small diving duck rarely seen in the United States, and only the fourth California state record for the species, brought numerous birders to visit the nearby Willow Springs Pond.

Nearby attractions: New Melones Lake, Black Oak Casino, the towns of Murphys, Sonora and Columbia State Historic Park. And several caverns to explore.

Scary. Be safe out there!

Mudflows and flooding cause cars to be swept away in California flooding. Video shows a van being swept away in Tehachapi, California.

Its time for - Guess the Name of this Bay Area town...

It was once home to the Seunen Indians, Ohlone/Costanoans who lived adjacent to the valley creeks. After 1797 it was Mission San Jose grazing land; later it included Jose Maria Amador's 16,000 plus acre Rancho.

American settlers first came to this town in 1850 when Leo and Mary Jane Norris purchased 4,450 acres of land from Amador. Other early landowners were William Lynch, James Dougherty, and Major Samuel Russell. In 1852 Joel and Minerva Harlan bought land from Norris and built a house on what became the Alameda-Contra Costa County line in 1853.

Many of the founding families are remembered today because their names grace various canyons, hills and streets. Some of these pioneers were Norris, Lynch, Harlan, McCamley, Crow, Bollinger, Meese, Glass, and Wiedemann. Both the Harlan home (1858) and the Wiedemann home (1865) near Norris Canyon still stand in their original locations.

It was called Brevensville (for blacksmith Eli Breven), Lynchville (for William Lynch) and Limerick (for the many Irish settlers). In 1873 when a permanent post office was finally established, it got its name that we still call it today.

During the 1860s the village became a hub of community activity. In 1864 a stage line established by Brown and Co. ran from here to Oakland. A church was dedicated in 1860, the general store was built in 1863 and students left their home-based classrooms to attend the grammar school beginning in 1867. Saloons, a jail, Chinese wash houses and blacksmith shops lined County Road No. 2..

In 1895 attorney Thomas Bishop acquired 3,000 acres of Norris land The Bishop Ranch raised cattle and sheep and was planted to hay, grain, diversified fruit crops and walnuts. Bishop Shropshire purebred sheep earned numerous awards. The Ranch was partially irrigated from an underground aquifer and at one point possessed the world's largest single orchard of Bartlett pears.

As with the entire Tri-Valley, agriculture was the basis for economy until suburban development began. In 1966 the new Interstate 680 freeway was completed through here.

In 1983 this town's voters decided overwhelmingly to incorporate as a separate city and took control over development, police, parks and other services. A new library, community center, parks and hospital testify to the energy which the new city displayed.

AYS makes daily deliveries between Sacramento and San Francisco! What a great shot Susan Taylor captured!

I've been on the go a bit lately and spent the past few days off and on shooting more of the amazing San Francisco Bay Area including the famous Golden Gate Bridge. This was captured on a beautiful late afternoon last week from Fort Point. Not sure how old this rusty chain is but I bet it's close to 80+ years old!

Share if you like. Thank you!
