Now that's wonderful quality service not to mention because it's not very big there are not very many people so it can take about 5-10 minutes to be in and out now that's record breaking! After going to one in Stockton yesterday and this one today it made me appreciate and realize the staff, the establishment, the friendliness and overall happy experience!

He would always showcase a town or place that's off-the-beaten-path with plenty of history lesson to boot. Man, I miss that show and may he rest in peace. Visiting this old, historic town of Murphys reminded me so much of that show. I don't know if he ever visited this town, but this would be the kind of place that he would showcase on his show. From what I know, it's an old mining town dating back to the Gold Rush and it's obviously named after the maker of Murphy's Irish Stout. Of course I'm pulling your leg, but whoever Murphy was, he was definitely of Irish decent with all the four leaf clovers painted all over this town. You won't find any Leprechauns here, but you will find plenty of small wineries, restaurants and small mom-n-pop shops. It has remained a merchant town, much like it has since the Gold Rush days were over. It's a charming, quiet and quaint little town that has plenty to offer and plenty of libations if you are in the mood. The air is clean, the trees are green and it feels like you are in Mother Nature's nest. This town is perfect for a weekend getaway whether you decide to spend a day or two. Murphys is in Calaveras County and approximately a 3+ hour drive from San Francisco. It's on the outskirts of Stanislaus National Forest, North of Yosemite, East of Stockton with Moaning Caverns Adventure Park and Calaveras Big Trees State Park close by.

Do you know who is Samuel Clemons? If you guessed him by his author pen name, Mark Twain... you…read moreguessed right. Did you know California's historic landmark #138 is no other than Mark Twain's cabin. Well, it's a replica with the original fireplace and chimney. It's in Tuttletown on Jackass Hill Road off Highway 49 in Tuolumne County. It's about one mile up the road. The replica was built in 1922 and again in 2002. The cabin is next to residential homes. I could imagine back in the day, the view must have been awesome! The lot has room for parking. The cabin itself is gated and not accessible. But the door is open and you can peek inside from afar. I couldn't see much because it was dark inside. There are a few information boards on site with historical information. There is not much to look at. I soaked up everything in less than 15 minutes. There are no seating or viewing platforms. From the info boards, I learned that Samuel Clemens happen to be traveling from Virginia City, Nevada, to San Francisco with some friends and stopped here in December 1864. He stayed until the end of February 1865. While there, he wrote "The Celebrated Story of the Jumping Frog of Calaveras County". He got the idea after hearing the story of a jumping frog contest in a saloon in the nearby town of Angels Camp. I goggled this info.. In 1867, he went on to publish that story as the cover story for his book of collective short stories. The book included previously published stories. The book turned out to be a success with rave reviews about the "Jumping Frog". So some may say, his time spent in this area with the colorful townsfolk launched his career.

It's a little over a mile up a residential road that is somewhat steep and very poorly maintained (4wd not required but it's bumpy). The cabin itself is a replica that was built in 1922 and renovated in 2002. The only piece of the original cabin is the stone fireplace and chimney. Even the land around the property has been developed to an unrecognizable state as to when he stayed here. Yes, in this very spot he supposedly wrote "The Celebrated Jumping Frog of Calaveras County" but it's more of an idea of what he lived like. There is parking in the lot for about 5-6 cars but even on a weekend you most likely won't see anyone else. You can't get in to the cabin, as there is a fence around it, which seems silly since it's not authentic. It is open sunrise to sunset. There are no seats, tables, or anything to do other than take a quick picture. It's an important footnote in the history of the American West but if you are looking for better preserved structures with historical significance it's better to explore nearby Columbia State Park.
