Today, we are talking about a murder at Dragoon’s Gulch, in Sonora, Ca. No evidence of the gulch’s murderous past remains. On the Dragoon Gulch walking trail area in Sonora.  The trail begins at the top of Woods Creek Rotary Park across from the Mother Lode Fairgrounds. When you cross Wood’s Creek you reach the bottom of Dragoon Gulch.  It is free to walk the trail, and dogs are welcome.

We are seeing a lot of cool ventures pop up that truly serve a purpose. I am super excited to tell you about these new sponsors of the podcast. Jenn and Rosie met while homeschooling during the Pandemic.Together they are walking the road of business owners and single moms who support one another.  Soulful Mountain Homestead and Farm is an organic/permaculture/regenerative homestead. A dream rooted in reality after the pressure Jenn endured from shelter in place and the horrific Santa Cruz Mountain fire of 2020. Jenn had a desire to help other single parents get sustainable with their food source and  change the way people farm, help the environment, and help parents feed their kids healthy homegrown food. Rosie, the owner or micROWgreenZ, offers highly nutritious microgreens in an array of flavors and species. She has dedication to the quality of microgreens that is unmatched. Roosie founded MicROWgreenZ out of a desire to be able to spend more time with her kids, while helping friends and family heal from sickness and disease through Whole Foods. Both businesses will be available at farmers markets across Tuolumne county, as well as home delivery and pick up from Soulful Mountain Homestead in Soulsbyville.  The mission is to heal people through food while healing the earth. Proudly serving Tuolumne County and the San Jose and Bay Area.
