Trains in Placerville, CA
As some of you know, I love trains--and we have a room at the Albert Shafsky House Bed and Breakfast called the Gandy Dancer that is filled with locomotive related items.
One of the treasures in our area is the El Dorado Western Railway Foundation and all the work the volunteers have done to preserve a bit of railroad history in our section of gold county.
For instance the Diamond & Caldor Shay #4 is he only surviving locomotive of the Diamond & Caldor Railway, Shay #4 is the focal point of El Dorado Western Railway Foundation. They have invested thousands of man hours in its restoration. Many more hours and dollars will be needed to finish this project. Please visit their website for more information.

R&R
Relaxing and romance and what goes better than El Dorado Wine? Just minutes from the inn, Boeger is committed not only to making the highest quality wines, but to pushing the boundaries of winemaking as well. Greg Boeger was one of the state's first producers of a varietal Merlot when it was virtually unheard of in California. Today he is a pioneer of innovative blends, drawing from over twenty-five varieties of grapes grown at the estate. Boeger is quickly becoming known for bringing new and uncommon varietals to the market place. Tell them the "gals at the Shafsky House" sent you.
