" Georgetown and its Riches "
El Dorado County — Coloma, Placerville, Georgetown, Cool, Fairplay & vicinity
El Dorado county was one of the most prosperous of the mining counties. It is estimated that the vast product of the gold-fields of California at least $100,000,000 was taken out here. Scattered all over the Union are hundreds of men, now rolling in wealth, who made their “stake” in the placers of El Dorado county. The industrious thousands who once swarmed in these canyons, digging for the precious metal, have vanished, leaving ravished stream-beds and abandoned camps, as the only monuments of their presence.
"There were no distinctions in society; dress did not indicate wealth or poverty. The most filthy and ragged looking ‘’ombre’’ might have the biggest pile." Luther Melanchthon Schaeffer, 1851

Just a little history on the beautiful town of Georgetown
Georgetown in early days was the prettiest town in the mountains, and up to this day, it can not be compared to what it once was, but it is a very pleasant mountain town on account of its location at the summit of a high elevation, (contrary to most other mining towns, which all occupy the bottom of canyons or gulches) overlooking a wide expanse of country in every direction except towards the east, where the gradual rise of the mountains starts too close to town, thus hiding the sight. The altitude of Georgetown is 2700 feet above sea level. Georgetown is and always will be a mining town in the full sense of the word, the high elevation as well as the character of the country don't recommend it for an agricultural centre, though there always has been raised a superior kind of fruit, particularly of the harder varieties. The first mining work on this divide was done by a party of Oregonians under the leadership of Hudson ; they were mining in what has since been known as "Oregon Canyon" and Hudson's Gulch" in July 1849, though they took out a large amount of gold at both these places they did not stay, and left the vicinity. They were followed by a party of sailors, among whom was one George Phipps, who first pitched his tent near the head of what since has become called "Empire Canyon," and from him derived the original name of George's town, just as John's town lower down in the same canyon, at its junction with Manhattan creek, was named after another man of the same party. The afterwards famous "Sailor Claim" in Oregon canyon, however did not obtain its name from the Phipps party. Although others suggest that the town was named after the founded George Ehrenhaft. Its still not sure which man it was named after. Georgetown is on the Oregon Creek, once a trading center for gold miners. A Japanese settlement known as Wakamatsu Colony was established here in 1868 to operate a tea and silk plantation. The venture failed after two years. For a little more history I have set up a link if you would like to learn a little more about this beautiful town. Please click here

What are they thinking?
Can you believe this??? Why in the hell could you not stop taping or not do the interview, when you know that your son is that sick? You can clearly see that this little boy is sick when they started taping. I think not only should have the parents told the show that they could not do the interview that day but "The Today Show" should have not taped the interview that day. I can not believe how irresponsible these parents are. They should not have these children. I really feel for these children. These poor little boys have to live with this crap that their parents did just to get their 15 minutes of fame, and it is not fair to do this to them. Its to bad their parents are a bunch of idiots!!
Can you believe this family???
I so cannot believe how a mom and dad can do something like this to their kids and the whole world for that matter. Why would you have two states searching for your son and everyone in the world praying on your family's behalf. I find this to be one of the dumbest stunts ever. If you want to be on TV so bad again, there are other ways of doing it, then by saying your six year old child is in a hot air balloon. Its just bad parenting in so many ways!!!
