California gold discovery celebration canceled for next year
Coloma California, site of James Marshall's 1848 gold find, will not host the 30th annual gold discovery celebration next January due to rampant dope drinking and debauchery. Park official Gus Till cited 40 000 visitors, marijuana use, rowdy behavior and restroom takeovers as safety concerns.
