Fresno Flats


We found a virtual cache on our trip. Since you can't place items like caches in national parks, people create virtual caches. They usually write up the significance of the area and have some questions you need to answer to be able to log the find.  You can find the answers by visiting the location and reading the information they have available. Sometimes they require a picture of you at the location.

The one we visited was Fresno Flats Historical Park in Oakhurst.  When people first came to the area in the 1850's it was called Fresno Flats. They have recreated a little village using  some of the original buildings and placed them all together so you can see them. They were closed for the winter when we were there, but are usually open and have people "working" in the various location much as they did 150 years ago. We will go back some time to see it in action.
