    Beautiful scenery and very hilly. However, the drivers are hella scary. You can get killed on the Pass very easy. I just pray while driving.

    Always crowded, nice road, too bad there isn't a diner at the top. It would be so cool to have a stop at top to wait for traffic to die.

    California Cavern State Historic Landmark - Inside the cave

    What a cool experience. Got there for the 10:00 am tour, and I was the only guest. The walk to…read morethe cave is only about five minutes, but there's no shade so the earlier the better as the temps heat up. Inside the cave is about 50°. I have no issues with claustrophobia, but if you do there is one tight squeeze that might be a problem. Cash, my tour guide, turned off the lights (after asking my permission) and we experienced total darkness for maybe thirty seconds. It felt like two hours, and I hated it , but still neat and recommend trying if offered. Use the hand rails. They are there for your safety.

    The drive here is much more involved than Mercer Caverns with more windy and narrow roads. Once you…read moreget closer the space opens up to a large parking lot and shop you meet at. We were the only ones that signed up for the earliest tour that day and were lucky to have a private tour. The tour has informative history about the caverns with landmarks along the way. The most interesting thing we didn't know about is they have caving adventure tours where you shimny through holes and narrow spaces with a guide but our kids aren't old enough to partake. This was the first show cave in California and townspeople lived in them during harsh winters in the 1800s. There was a bar inside and a church and nails were even given to people to carve on the walls. Because of this there are signs of harm everywhere with soot, broken formations, and dirty coloration from human hand oils and even champagne poured on a rock formation. The caverns are huge and beautiful with some jaw-dropoing rooms. The walking tour is very safe though we loved the slight danger and claustrophobic feel of the Mercer Caverns. When you leave the shop has some cool historical items pulled from the caves on display like glass bottles, etc .. that are worth checking out.

Driving through Mountain House, one of the things that stands out is the modernization of the area. You don't really find vintage businesses or historical sites, which hints that this area must of sprouted from vasts of rural land recently developed perhaps in the last few years. It certainly has great potential and opportunity for growth. The only surprise, which honestly shouldn't be, is the skyrocketing real estate prices on the recently built homes in this area. Other than that, it's a nice place to stop by on your way to Tracy.

    if you like high prices, high taxes, sometimes high HOA charges, paying for schools to be built on…read moreevery single freaking corner, 5 dirty, smelly gas stations within less than 2 miles of each other no real industry, no business park (like TRIMARK promised), acres, and acres of apartments that choke the beautiful country horizon; which weren't a part of the original plan, and now high crimes & theft in our neighborhoods, by all means move to MH. I'm not surprised about the increase in thefts because when you build a 24 hour expensive Safeway w/a gas station there's bound to be crime just around the corner. My trigger is when the mountain house service department at the time decided to tow my brand new truck and trailer. MH was not a city until it became effective in July 2024. My trigger took place a month before that when I was towed from an area across the street from the park. There are no parking signs & no tow away signs. It's open to the public & people park there day and night walking their dogs running doing whatever they do but on this date when I was towed, I was told that the reason it was towed was because the street was owned by a HOA. The county sheriff condoned the whole incident via TELEPHONE between MH officials & the county sheriffs department. The county sheriffs department then backtracked when I confronted them and said they had nothing to do with it because it was a HOA thing. Well I was confused, because I've been here since 2006 & I hadn't realized that the public street sidewalk and grass area by the creek and park were owned by a HOA. I must've been confused about where my tax money was going and the number of public servants that run around mountain house and the park area in particular cleaning and working on it. And to boot the tow company took a picture of my vehicle and my trailer & not one sticker & not one citation was visible on either vehicle . Yet when I picked up my vehicle from the tow yard it was lit up like a Christmas tree with green stickers on every side, white citations on every side of the vehicle and the trailer. But the picture that they took looked like a trophy picture. I'd only had my vehicle there for 4 days. I was getting ready for a trip so I was cleaning and storing things in it. So, when they took the vehicles they actually took all my items with it; every expensive thing that I use when I travel. I've never been so violated in my life!!!! As I explained to the Sheriffs , that if the HOA indeed owned this street & adjacent sidewalks and it's private property then where are the sign postings. People shouldn't be confused about whether their vehicle has been stolen or even where it's been stored. There are laws about this . Again, the county sheriffs department washed their hands of it said we know nothing about that, "WE didn't do it". The wonderful thing about living in a neighborhood is that you want to feel safe and secure. When the policies and procedures start to turn on me, I feel immense distrust in the public servants of this community . The "lets make it up as we go, cover for one another, & make lots if money even if rules need to bend" policies and procedures just don't work for me. We simply don't share the same values . It's kind of like having cancer. I just don't appreciate being manipulated by predatory like businesses and lied to by public officials that get paid because I pay my taxes. I don't think I deserve this as I pay a lot of taxes to stay here. So, I've decided to lease my place & move elsewhere because having life, liberty, and happiness in my neighborhood means more to me than anything else!

(They did not disappoint.) Things I loved about the Grand: - Easy parking within a block (or two) via street and dirt lots. All of it was free parking. - Not fighting huge traffic other than I-580-EB on an evening. - Along a really cute downtown area that was about 3-4 blocks by 3 blocks. - Cheap snacks at the Grand that included beer on tap, wine, sodas, bottled water, candy, and nuts, all of which was very inexpensive by comparison to the Orpheum in SF. (Water, soda - $3; candy - $3; most alcoholic beverages were $6-9, IIRC.) - All great seating once you get inside. I didn't feel like there was a bad seat in the house. - Beautiful interior, just as ornate as The Orpheum. - Awesome lighting and sound, unlike the Golden Gate Theater, which has had terrible sound in the last two years. - Not a huge line to get to the restroom. - A space indoors for merch sales, for groups like All-4-One that choose to sell things. There's nothing critical or even nit-picky to say about my visit here. 5 stars. I had a great time, and I will be back. Tracy, y'all are so lucky!

She answered with an attitude. I explained previously I wasn't too good with highway names and exact location before I tried to explain and she was very rude, dismissive, and made the process a lot harder than it should've been. She kept cutting me off as I was giving her the name of the highway to tell me "I don't understand what your saying" "you are making no sense at all" mind you, I was purposely speaking loud, clear, and slowly so she can hear what I'm saying.
