Strange Pyramid Tomb on a Golf Course of Early California Pioneer

Jeff and Sarah travel to Rocklin, California to check out the pyramid tomb of Joel Parker Whitney who came to California in 1852 in search for gold. Whitney ended up owning 20,000 acres in the Rocklin, Lincoln area of the Sacramento region and had a mansion on a hill.
Jeff will show you where that mansion was located as well as show two stone bridges he had built on his expansive land holding.

[@janicecanfield9211]

@@jackdelay6558 Hi Jack. Suggestion is this. Get a map of the 50 states and a black marker. Cross off ( big X) every state you wouldn't live in ie way too much snow, not enough water, taxes too high, etc. If you're still working, factor that in your decision. If not, even easier for you. Computer time. Google each state you didn't cross off. Time to check them out. Binder and paper and pen time. Name each page, line down the middle. Write in pros and cons. What's most important to you where you live. Entertainment, etc. House prices. It's not as tough as some might think it is. We're about the same age. It's time for waaaaay less stress. All the best, Jan

I love your videos more than I can even tell you. Maybe in part because I'm a native Californian. So amazing that all Mr. Whitney built is just gone. I paid 3.85 for gas the other day in a town just outside Oklahoma City, the next day it was 4.09, and the next day it was 4.24. As of this morning, June 12, the national average is 5.01.

Thank you for the history lesson of Rocklin!! I live in Springfield Whitney Oaks and your account of our history was eye opening!! Yes, we have a very unique granite rock quarry not far from Whitney Oaks in the town of Rocklin. You and Sarah also did a great video of my hometown of Simi Valley featuring Corriganville Movie Ranch. You guys get around. Thanks for reminding me how much I enjoyed Huel Hauser's California Gold series, you have just brought back another piece California gold to us. Looking forward to your next video.

[@mike95826]

Thanks, my sister once rented a house less then a half mile from the memorial park at Springfield but I never knew that Mr. Whitney had a tomb right there. I thought he was buried in either Monterey or Boston. That whole area there is referred to as Sunset Whitney Ranch and part of it is also named Twelve Bridges. Interesting how the great sucking sound of taxes has been so destructive that they caused the new owners of the house to tear it down. It is also the reason why you are paying so much more in California for you gas. I grew up in the Sacramento area but when I retired a couple of years ago I moved away due to the HIGH prices and the oppressive heat in the summer.

[@nicholedecker9124]

Such a pity they demolished the Mansion. Human greed values nothing! Thanks for the great episode.

Taxes are not human greed.....back in the great plains the raxes on abandoned homes(costing a fortune to renovate to livable versus the taxes each year on something that deteriates yearly is not hard to figure out especially if you you seriously shaping to get by) I imagine in CA the taxes on abandoned property is out of site...probably 3 times more than in the plains state.

[@dianeadams353]

Jeff, I have lived fifteen minutes from this tomb my entire life, and never visited it, nor knew the complete details of Mr. Whitney’s legacy. I cannot thank you and Sarah enough for taking us to these beautiful bridges and the tomb, I shall now visit them in person (on a cool valley day of course!) Wonderful video❤️❤️❤️thank you Sarah and Jeff. Also, I never knew the significance of the name Twelve Bridges (Drive, High School, subdivision) until now!

Even if buildings are gone your usually still able to tell something from the street layout but this is just almost like looking at two different places. Would never have guessed that those are in the same area. For some reason, I was also struck by the fact those bridges that now about 130 years old have lasted longer than the house did.

Jeff I live very near Rocklin, CA and I never heard of the tomb. Now I see why the area is called the Whitney Ranch. I'll take a look when it stops raining. Up on the highest hill in Rocklin there is a foundation left of an old home. I wonder if that may have been from him. The grinding holes are from the Maidu Native Americans. Hot is an understatement for Rocklin. Can't see the Capitol but on a clear day Mount Shasta can be seen. The rock quarry was called the Ruhkala rock quarry and is no longer working in downtown Rocklin but is 160 years old. When my family moved up here from Long Beach, CA in 1977 the quarry was still operating. It cut granite for most of the old buildings in the Rocklin/Roseville and sent cut stone down to Folsom to build the prison. I saw the Ruhkala place before it was recently torn down and they had all sizes of stone cutting tools and could cut through one of those bridge stones in about half an hour. There are alot of parks in Rocklin. Thanks Jeff for showing me some of the history of the area I didn't know about.

So yes there are several Granite Quarries in Rocklin .. hence the name. Pretty sure the Granite in the State Capital and pretty sure in the Court House built in 1935 in Woodland all came from there !!

[@aseainfo]

Jeff, I just did a deep dive into Mr. Whitney recently because I enjoy the Rocklin area a lot. If you are ever in the area again, go take a look at his failed attempt at recreating the English countryside to attract more sophisticated east coast people to California. He created a Citrus farm area in Loomis, CA that consisted of several small farms, and a country club that he created for the residents. It would be similar to what we call a planned community today. It failed but you can still see remnants of the community on Delmar Rd where the palm trees were planted by Mr. Whitney to help with attracting new residence to his citrus colony.

[@konami1979]

He also had an English-style country bridge built over a creek at present-day Clover Valley Park. It's one of his famous Twelve Bridges and it's still there.

Wow guys, almost to 80K baby! Keep up the good work. I know how much time it takes to edit even a 10 minute video.

Thanks a ton! We just hit 79,000 subscribers a few hours ago. I just wish all those subscribers would actually watch what we put out. The last video on Sunday was viewed 8700 times. Most of our views don't come from subscribers either, which is puzzling. But thanks for acknowledging the effort it takes. It takes a crazy amount of time! I'm glad you appreciate the time spent!

@@jbenziggy I think part of the reason is they don't hit the bell when subscribing so with all the other videos out there, it is hard to remember unless you get a notification. You may want to put some little insert half way through your videos (best not at the beginning or end) and thank viewers for watching and asking them to hit the bell so they get notified of your next video

👋 Jeff and Sarah, Thanks for this stroll thru Rocklin. I had visited there years ago. Lots of nice homes there. You mentioned gas prices. ! It's the taxes that kept getting voted for 😢 I'm at 4.40 a gallon and that's insane. Crazy that Sarah knew about innards!!!
