I didnt need a ride but saw his minivan with the Localdrivers.net down the sides as well as the LED display in the back. I was curious and had to ask him if he was finally a new taxi/safe and sober ride service in town. He said yes. I thanked him graciously for filling the empty space that Fast Taxi and Gold Country Taxi Service had recently left upon disappearing from the scene. Im definitely bookmarking their website to share with any peeps that ever need a safe ride home from doing whatever in town. Cheers

The kids had a great time feeding and petting the animals and riding the horses. It was such a peaceful getaway and Pam the host was so charming and helpful. The nearby towns of Penn Valley and Nevada city were higher end then a lot of the other western towns I had been to around California and had some great dining options. We were able to visit the mining museum and stop over in Tahoe to see some snow for the kids. The estate also had a great hot tub and we were able to bbq steaks at night and there was plenty of outdoor space for dining. We had a great restful time and it was a great weekend getaway. Pam even made us home made breakfast and dinner which was also delightful! Highly recommend!

(VRBO is a pain the &$%#, book through her site or direct contact)…read more I booked a weekend at Vaquera Ranch, I'll never forget it. I searched and searched for the perfect place and this was it. I was traveling with family and friends, including two energetic 7 year old girls who are nuts for animals (with the attention span of a gnat). Pam's place is majestic, a quick hour to skiing, hiking, etc. At first we felt we were MILES into the sticks but once we got our bearings it was a very quick 10-minute drive out to the store. We didn't cook much but if we had to there were pots and pans, a nice-sized cuisinart hot plate (everything there is top of the line!!), a Kuerig coffee pot with biodegradable pods (which we appreciated). The wine fridge was enough to keep some groceries if you wanted. And by groceries, I stored beer in there. The kids loved movie night on the big screen TV, doing crafts around the beautiful kitchen table, and of course going down to see the horses. The large tub, we couldnt get them out of it...which was absolutely perfect, they were filthy at the end of each day! We enjoyed the massive show the sky gave us come night time! Stars galore! Pam was over the top generous with her time. Memories of the ranch and the space Pam has created for her furry, four-legged family will live warmly in our hearts until we return.

How do you become a regular at a welcome center? Well she took me for the first time. Good size and clean. HUGE unisex restroom. Plenty of souvenirs to buy. Lots of history to study. Atmosphere - See pictures and read above. Service - So welcoming. Gave me a pamphlet for the local wineries and breweries. This might be my new "Livermore?!?!" Price - Free. Well, it depends if you buy souvenirs. Owner Comment - Thank you for such a welcoming center, pun intended.

The employees at this Auburn Visitor Center and the volunteers at this Visitor Center are very knowledgable not only of Auburn, but also other towns of Placer County. There are Visitor Guides of different towns of California. Go by districts, so as example, Bay Area, Monterey area, San Joaquin County, Southern California. One time two of them telling me stories of the Women Prison at the museum at Historic Court House. It is actually outside the Court House, if one looks, there was small area for the bed, the sink, and the toilet. Very first time I ever visited Auburn, asked of Forgotten Soldier Program Park. Wow, it is walkable of this Auburn Visitor Center. Now this to me strange. There also Placer County Visitor Center. I am fourth person for that. What is strange it is exact address, same directions, same telephone number.

I remembered seeing the Divide Taxi in front of Holiday Market one day, did a quick Google search, and found their FB page with a phone number. The local Auburn cab service never returned our call. Divide Taxi Service had another fare coming to town leaving soon, so we had to wait just a little while. We had enough time to have dinner, and were picked up just after paying the dinner tab. Suzanne drove us right to our front door (of course), and rates were very reasonable. I've booked her for an airport shuttle for an upcoming trip. Divide Taxi also delivers from all of our local restaurants!

The half dozen RV transport companies I've talked to have basically said that they are too busy right now to do anything but pickup an RV at point A and drop it off at point B. But another factor may be that Cody, the owner and priniciple driver, says he has the skills to make this tricky delivery. The delivery may be best made with a forklift doing the final 100 yards up a narrow alley and then into my backyard. And Cody says he's got the certification and the experience to do it! I'll update my review in a few weeks after the delivery.
