Fort Crook Museum - Fall River Mills, California
Fort Crook Museum - Fall River Mills, California

The fort consisted of 25-30 log buildings enclosed by a pine-pole stockade 12 feet high.

California Wine Trails
There are thousands of wineries in California, way too many to list individually so I have asked the owners of a great site - www.winecountrygetaway.com to allow me to place their site in conjunction with ours to provide you with a wide range of places to visit with insider information on what their thoughts are and to give you suggestions.
While I was trying to find what I considered to be the best site for information this particular site seemed to fit the need best. It is done with taste, creativity and personal experience. For a listing of many, many of the wine trails throughout the state of California go to this site and begin your California Vacation experience in wine country.
