Golden Agers Visit Roaring Camp Railroads

As one of their recreational activities, the Golden Agers took a trip to Roaring Camp Railroads located in Felton, California. The camp sits among the towering redwoods and is like a journey back to another time. Approximately forty to forty five seniors took the trip confirming their motto that "An Active Senior is a Healthy Senior"!
