Pacific House on the old emigrant trail

Drove around Pacific House, El Dorado County, CA, which was an emigrant wagon road, Pony Express, Lincoln Highway, and Highway 50 landmark. Apparently, many well-known folks stayed here, including Mark Twain. Not much going on these days. We are facing east, and just a little further ahead, the Lincoln Highway leaves Peavine Ridge Road and connect into the present day Hwy. 50. Hwy. 50 is just out of the picture on the right. Peavine Ridge road continues down into the American River Canyon.
