Am SO glad you started this thread. In three weeks we are headed up to the same area roughly to meet D’s fiancee’s family… we will be in a more rural area at the foothills heading up toward South Lake Tahoe and we’ve never been anywhere near that area. I know that nearby Amador County is becoming big with tourism, but we have no idea what to expect. The fiancee’s family is asking us what kinds of things we want to do when we’re there, and we have no idea what to ask. We are not drinkers, so wine-tasting, or anything to do with alcohol is out. We also have no interest whatsoever in gambling. We’ve also heard that it’s gold rush country, and that there are some old mining towns to visit, but I’m definitely leaning more toward doing a day trip to Yosemite and/or Tahoe for the views and some hiking if others agree. I was also concerned about the heat and hope we get away from it, or choose activities where it won’t be an issue. Making notes so we can sound like we know what we’re talking about!
