I'm sorry I'm so late in responding to this but my daughter and I went to southern CA for the long weekend...yes, we've been to Preston Castle and it is worth it! If you haven't yet gone make sure and bring a tripod, though you don't have a lot of time to take photos inside...but it does help with the shots on the fly! Occasionally, if there aren't too many people in you tour group you can get a few more minutes...have fun

Well thank you very much! We drove by it on our way from Sacramento back to stockton and the country side was just pretty

It is pretty scenery! We take the hypotenuse of the I5/hwy50 triangle up past Ione toward Placerville from Stockton when we're heading down or back from southern California (we moved from near Santa Barbara almost two years ago) and the first time of seeing that Castle was wow! There certainly nothing like it down south that's not surrounded by tons of buildings

My daughter and I were saying yesterday on the way home that we need to get (the friend who's going to school in Stockton) to meet us in Ione for a Preston Castle tour soon ....that would be our third visit and we still think it is cool! (It probably helps that my daughter 'inherited' my Nikon after I was given a new one for Christmas )

awesome. I've never been to Santa Barbara, but I hear it's nice and pretty. I know I want to do a day tour but for my birthday that is coming up I'd like to do an over night tour, only problem it's 100$ a person. So I may try to do a tour in early march

I grew up in Santa Barbara and met my husband up at Chico...took him back down south with a promise that someday we'd move back up

What kind of places do you want to go for your day/over night tour?

well, there's a great pioneer cemetery over in Sloughhouse, near Rancho Murietta on Hwy 16 (I think that's the right number) about 20 minutes away from the Castle that was cool last month...and coming soon is Daffodil Hill in Sutter [link] over north of Hwy50 is Coloma and Sutter's Mill - the starting point of the Gold Rush...there are lots of interesting things to see here

lol, that is where a group of people meeting to take pictures Like maybe we could meet at one of the little lakes east of Stockton or in Sacramento or...just somewhere. My daughter and I have meet several dA'ers for photo shoots and it is always fun; getting to know new people AND taking pictures!

What's your life like? School, work? We tend to do some of our drives spontaneously, but we can 'make plans'

Thanks! It was a perfect sky day I had my polarizer on so the original is a beautiful blue but I got to playing with the filters in photoshop and loved this one
