Why “Sierra Lodestar?”
“Lode” is a term to describe the system of veins rich in gold or silver that ran through the western slope of the Sierra. The longest of these systems ran for about 60 miles from Amador, through Calaveras and into Tuolumne County. The term “Lodestar” refers to a beacon, which reveals points of interest with its light. The name expresses the goal of this publication, which is to highlight all of the things that make the three-county Mother Lode area such an exciting and rewarding place to live and visit. We hope you enjoy both the Sierra Mother Lode and its Lodestar.
