Placerville

On Friday we made the short run to the KOA in Shingle Springs near Placerville. Once again, after settling in and having lunch we went wine tasting. Found some great and some not so great wines east of Placerville.


Friday evening we dined at Zachery Jacques, a country French restaurant we have enjoyed before. Tonight the menu was pretty limited and the service slow although the meal tasted great.


On Saturday morning we drove to Coloma the back way and toured the John Marshall State Park. This is where gold was first discovered in California back in 1848. After a nice picnic on the banks of the American River we took the back way home again stopping at a couple of nice wineries along the way.
