Visit to Apple Hill, Oct. 2, 2010, Placerville/Camino, Calif.
We celebrated Donna's birthday one day early by visiting several orchards in my old stomping grounds, an area called Apple Hill, in the Sierra foothills between Placerville and Lake Tahoe. It was a great day. All things apple were offered by farmers, bakers, artisans, and winemakers in a small area that is home to more than 50 active orchards.
