Shingletown, Ide Adobe State Park

I am a volunteer there at Ide Adobe and we were recently on the closing list. This park is my life! When I heard that we were taken off, I was so relieved and ecstatic that I almost cried. This park is small, but very important. They have a big school program where 4th and 5th graders come and learn about the history firsthand with living history docents. This park is also very beautiful, quiet, and restful. There was one man who came up to me at a craft demonstration who absolutely felt like he had stepped into 1852 and loved it. He is now a total fan, I believe, and is definitely coming to Ide Adobe Day on the 16th of August. I just want to thank Debbie Chakarun, the park interpreter, for influencing my life in such a positive way!
