Today, we pause to remember the heroes of D-Day.

On June 6, 1944, Allied forces stormed the beaches of Normandy, changing the course of history through extraordinary courage, sacrifice, and determination. We honor those who served, those who gave their lives, and the enduring legacy of freedom they helped secure.

Their commitment to a cause greater than themselves continues to inspire generations.

🐴🌲 The annual Highway 50 Association Wagon Train is making its way through El Dorado County and is expected to arrive at Fresh Pond this afternoon!

Travelers along US-50 may notice horses, wagons, and support vehicles as this long-standing tradition continues its journey west. On Friday, the Wagon Train will depart Fresh Pond and travel toward Po***ck Pines.

If you encounter the Wagon Train, please slow down, be patient, and give participants plenty of space. A little extra caution helps keep everyone—both people and horses—safe on the roadway.

We wish all the participants a safe and enjoyable journey!
