California’s Shortest Highway

California Highway 153 has been identified by the California Department of Transportation as “California’s Shortest Highway”. The highway is a mere 0.55 mile and it’s located in the Marshall Gold Discovery State Historic Park in Coloma, California where gold was discovered on January 24, 1849.

I recently visited there. To read that Blog entry, click this link…
