A great cover story about wagon trains was published nationally today in American Profile and I had the good fortune to be the assigned photographer. Marti Attoun, contributing editor, wrote the article in her wonderful, descriptive, storytelling style. The Hwy 50 Wagon Train Association is made up of a fun and friendly group of people passionate about preserving the role of wagon trains and pioneers in the history of N. California. The article focuses on their annual week long journey from Lake Tahoe, over Echo Summit in the Sierras, to Placerville, CA. I’m sure the publicity from this story will help in their efforts. Here is the link to the article. Marti and I spent a day and a half with the group, riding the wagon train, hanging out, and listening to the stories they told My photo on the cover appears below, and a few other photos I shot on the assignment are posted underneath. Very educational and entertaining experience!
