    'Tis The Season For Pumpkin Patchin!…read more SITREP Get out there, people! All the good pumpkins are starting to disappear! And if that is not enough reason to cruise on through El Dorado County, then drive around and check out all the gorgeous Autumn Colors. THE SETUP In either scenario, there are many beautiful opportunities to stop - and "smell the roses" - or in this instance, take a bevy of pictures in Pumpkin Patches and/or amidst the woodland pastures, full of bright flowers and other iconic landmarks. * At O'Hallorans, get a half peck bag - $7 value - and fill up with some fresh fruit! https://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/county-of-el-dorado-placerville-3?select=B2oE_MPbsnq371PkSDx7UQ&userid=3mNz5nQFTIBQm0oU5mBR0w * Grab a pumpkin (the orange one she's holding *cough*) https://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/county-of-el-dorado-placerville-3?select=CmiloKglnrXgnfFgeHMUlA&userid=3mNz5nQFTIBQm0oU5mBR0w * Chocolate Fudge Apples for $4 at Abels! https://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/county-of-el-dorado-placerville-3?select=A8S2apsr1so1eLE0l3b-jQ&userid=3mNz5nQFTIBQm0oU5mBR0w * Boa Vista has got some White Pumpkins! https://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/county-of-el-dorado-placerville-3?select=YL2owIkLZ6vRTRoOIJO25w&userid=3mNz5nQFTIBQm0oU5mBR0w * And all around El Dorado County, are luminescent fields with bright flowers and hearty grasses worthy of some candid picture moments! https://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/county-of-el-dorado-placerville-3?select=qp4FOqt5Ig2mTInzWB4EOA&userid=3mNz5nQFTIBQm0oU5mBR0w THE LOWDOWN Grab a pumpkin, snap a picture, drink some cider, eat a caramel apple, because the time is now!

    I don't deal with the county services very often. But when I have, it has been a miserable…read moreexperience. I stopped donating books to the libraries because of their ungrateful attitudes. Instead of showing appreciation they acted like I was causing them more work. The permit department is another bad story. In my experience with them, the employee I dealt with whined and complained about the work I was causing her. When I went to the building department with completed paperwork in hand to pay my fees on a very simple installation, I was told that they don't take walk-ins after 1230 pm. Yet, the lobby was empty and 2 receptionist were sitting on their tails doing nothing. Based on my experiences with the county offices, I conclude that the hiring and department managers have low standards and expectations. Somebody needs to train these people in customer service. IMO, the Board of Supervisors needs to fire all of them and start over.

    A Walk Through History with Small-Town Charm…read more Historic Downtown Placerville is such a wonderful place to spend a leisurely afternoon. Walking down Main Street truly feels like stepping back in time. many of the buildings date back to the 1800s, and you can sense the Gold Rush history in every corner. There's a great mix of boutique shops, antique stores, art galleries, and cozy restaurants to explore. Many of the shop owners are friendly and passionate about sharing the local history, which makes the experience even more special. The town has managed to preserve its character while adding a touch of modern comfort. We enjoyed browsing through unique stores filled with handcrafted gifts and local treasures, then stopped for a quick bite at one of the charming cafés. If you're into photography, there are plenty of picturesque spots, especially around the old storefronts and murals that tell Placerville's story. Parking can get a little tight on weekends, but the slower pace, friendly vibe, and sense of nostalgia more than make up for it. Overall, Historic Downtown Placerville is a lovely destination for a relaxed day trip, a bit of shopping, or simply soaking up California's Gold Country charm. Highly recommend stopping by if you're passing through or looking for a scenic getaway close to Sacramento.

    City of Placerville - Everything around here looks about white.  It was a nice stop on the way home.
