Hello Group,

Does anyone know anything about a Jeepers Jamboree Museum in California? I
think it may be in Placerville. Apparently there is a ****** MA there. I
am looking for an address, phone number, or email for my dad.

TIA,

There is allegedly one of the first two ****** jeeps in
Placerville. Given that Placerville is a mere wide spot
on historic/scenic California Hwy 49, you might get good
pointers by contacting the Placerville city folks themselves
with snippets from the articles claiming the history jeep is
there. <http://www.ci.placerville.ca.us/>

Or try the <http://www.jeepersjamboree.com/> folks at
Georgetown, just a cowpie throw down the road.

There is a historic jeep site in Placerville that keeps
track of old serial numbers, but it is under construction
at the moment.

PS. Thanks for posting, next time I run over to Reno or
Tahoe [unfortunately not for a while] will stop off and
see if I can find the thing. Shouldn't take more than
10 minutes to walk all over town.

PSPS. If you want some *serious* brownie points, send your
dad to Reno and rent him a Jeep and have him drive from
Reno down to Carson, then up to Tahoe and cut off Hwy 50
just west of South Tahoe and head down to Placerville on
Ca Hwy 49. And then back east over the Sonora Pass as
there are a coupla really really old military jeeps that
hang out on the east side of Sonora.

Sonora is only 35 miles from here, i don't know of any MBs parked along the
road.
My Girlfriend lives in Placerville, I don't see any Jeep museum in the phone
book, but in nearby Georgetown is listed a 'jeep jamboree USA' and 'jeepers
jamboree', different addresses, (530) 333-4777, (530) 333-4771.

Hiway 50, 80, and 88 are open, but sonora and ebbets passes are closed for
the winter.

I think it's a private museum. I was hoping someone had been there and
could tell me where it's at. Thanks for the reply.
