About the event
Your motorcycle adventure through the Western BDR and Black Springs OHV areas this is an incredible journey with a mix of history, culture, and outdoor exploration. Here's a summary of the key highlights:
1. **Jackson:**
- Founded soon after the gold discovery at Coloma, Jackson has a vibrant history shaped by gold, girls, gambling, and government for over 160 years.
- The area was initially inhabited by generations of Miwok Native Americans, with a creek and adjacent spring providing essential accommodations.
- The gold rush attracted native Californios of Spanish-Mexican descent, as well as soldiers and sailors who deserted to seek their fortunes along the Mokelumne River.
- Today's downtown offers a charming mix of historic Civil War-era storefronts and 20th-century architecture.
