In the park, there is assortment of activates to enjoy
including hiking trails, historic buildings, an active
and working black smiths shop, walking tours, two
cemeteries dating back to the Gold Rush, and the most
popular: Gold panning, said Holly Thane, the lead park
interpreter.
One of the hiking trails takes you up to the James

Sun and recent rain combine
to bring out the best along
local hiking trails
Written by Matt kramer photos by Matt kramer
Tim Duncan, 55, of Shingle Springs was out cycling near the
trail with Ed Woolensack, 60, of Folsom. He said that Browns
Ravine was also one of his favorite places to cycle this time
of year.
Its a little warm already but well get used to it, Duncan
said. In the summer time we look forward to (weather) like
this!
Browns Ravine
Browns Ravine, just off of Green Valley Road in El Dorado
Hills, is another nearby hike that hugs the lake. This trail is
particularly good for dog walkers, and children as there is
a clear path and there is much less poison oak than at the
Sweet Water Trail. In addition, the close proximity of the lake
provides a welcome cool breeze.
All of these trails are teaming with wildlife, butterflies, and
blooming flowers making this spring and summer season the
perfect time to get out and experience nature at its best and
most user friendly.

Lynden Johnson was our president, a gallon of milk was just 31 cents and
Sonny and Cher had little hit song titled I Got You Babe. The year was 1965
and something new was coming to life in El dorado County, the sport of
auto racing.
Today, drivers and race enthusiasts from Auburn and beyond flock
to the track Saturday nights at the el Dorado County Fairgrounds.
The races, now 51 years running, still excite audiences with the
roar of engines producing cheers from wide-eyed crowds.
With the spring season upon us, the green flag has flown once
again at Placerville Speedway. What started as a community football field back in 1956 and transformed into a quarter-mile dirt
race track in the summer of 1965, is now known as one el Dorado
Countys hot spots for
family entertainment
on Saturday nights
between the months
of April and October.

Fish tacos
One of my favorite
trips was to los
Cabos, Mexico.
Being gluten-free
is really simple
when the majority
of the foods there
are rice, beans,
and corn. My husband and I took this trip
a little over a year ago with the family
and since we were having them over for
dinner I decided to recreate our wonderful
trip. Fish tacos are a fan favorite with the
konrads and I have to say these were a
hit. They were perfectly flaky and subtly
spicy, but the avocado-cilantro sauce and
the lime helped tame the bold flavors. I
had a dinner party of 5 to serve. I would
say that the portions would have worked if
everyone only wanted two tacos.
Blackened Tilapia
1.5 pounds tilapia filets
1.5 teaspoon smoked paprika
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
1/2 teaspoon cumin
1.5 teaspoon chipotle powder
1/2 teaspoon brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
2 tablespoons olive oil
12 corn tortillas
Slaw
1/2 red cabbage sliced think
1/2 medium white onion sliced or diced
1/2 cup cilantro
Juice of one lime
Avocado-Cilantro Sauce
Directions:
In a small bowl, combine the dry seasonings. Sprinkle the
mixture over both sides of the filets and pat in. Combine the
ingredients for the Avocado-Cilantro sauce in a food processor
or blender. Blend until well combined. Heat the oil in a skillet
over medium heat. Once heated, place the fish into the pan.
Cook for 4-5 minutes on each side or until blackened and
flakes easily. Remove from heat and drain excess oil by placing
the fish on a paper towel. Warm the tortillas (in the same
skillet if preferable). Assemble all ingredient, serve, and enjoy.

This light dinner option is perfect for the warmer days leading up to summer.
Impress your guests with this coconut crusted tilapia and zesty fruit salsa.
Place over a bed of spiced cauliflower rice and you have a spring meal worth
talking about. Preparation takes very little effort and time, but the results are
delicious and satisfying. This Paleo dish is nutritious and full of flavor. Reach
your summer body goals, but not at the expense of taste.
Directions:
1 mango
1 egg
4 strawberries
1 head of cauliflower
Olive oil
1 tablespoon honey
Salt and pepper
Spices:
Garlic powder
Smoked paprika
2 tilapia fillets
Cumin
Dice the mango, strawberries, bell pepper, and red onion. If you like chunky salsa, do not dice
so small. Mix the fruit and veggies in a bowl and add the honey and lime juice. Mix in the
cilantro and add salt and pepper to taste. Once the fruit salsa is done set it aside.
In a separate bowl whisk one egg. Dip the tilapia filets in the egg and then coat them with
coconut flour and shaved coconut. On the stovetop heat the olive oil until sizzling (just
enough oil to cook and not deep fry the fish). Place the fish into the oil and leave for 3-5
min. (I would cover the fish because it tends to splatter). Flip the fish and let the other side
cook for 3-5 minutes. Place on a paper towel to drain excess oil.
Slice the head of cauliflower so that it fits easily into a food processor.
Process until it looks like little grains of rice. In a skillet heat up 1 tablespoon of olive oil.
Place the processed cauliflower onto the skillet.

Get your
guitar on
stRinG flinG GUitaR festival comes to aUbURn
By JulIe MIlleR PHOTOS ARe SPeCIAl TO FOOTHIll MAGAZIne
Well, its time to dust off the axe and bring it to Auburns first annual
Spring Fling. This acoustic guitar festival is less of a fiesta and more of a workshop to hone-in playing skills. About 70 to 100 are expected to attend.
This is a unique opportunity to sit down with instructors in the area And take
your skills to a new level, Preston Marx said, who is one of the events instructors and founders.
The idea of the festival came from Marx when he attended Auburn Gold Pan
ukulele Festival.
He said we should do something for guitar and the idea was born, said Sheryl
Peterson,recreation services manager for Auburn Recreation District, who coordinates the ukulele Festival.
Marxs idea was to use the same model of the ukulele Festival and tailor it for
guitar players.
Ive been a guitar player for 34 years and I thought (the event) would be great
it would be cool, Marx said. lets do this.
The String Fling is geared for a broad range of guitar players, from beginners to
advanced and is a chance for all to learn and grow.

Climbing
in Auburns old quarry
Special to Foothill Magazine
(ASRA) is the remains of an old limestone quarry, formerly the Spreckels quarry. The quarry was bequeathed to the
Bureau of Reclamation after the Teichert Inc. had determined that the lower quarry had yielded as much material as was
financially feasible. The new land was then included in the State Recreation Area for management by the SRA for the Bureau of Reclamation. The SRA allows recreational usages include hiking, swimming, boating, fishing, camping, mountain
biking, gold panning, equestrian/horseback riding trails, off-highway motorcycle riding, and whitewater, with Class II, III
and IV runs. Ironically enough, climbing was not addressed in the recreational usage plan despite the quarries large rock
cliffs being ideally suited for technical rock climbing.

histoRy
Technical rock climbing has been practiced in the Old limestone Quarry
located in the ASRA since the late 1980s. The original climbers established
approximately seven rock climbing routes, which required some amount
of fixed protection; pitons and protection bolts. From all accounts, early
climbers were not discouraged or refused recreational opportunities at this
time. early climbers included Dale Christenson, eric kohl, kirk Arens, and
the Hatchet Brothers. On nov. 18, 1998, kirk and friends were practicing
rope jumping on an elaborate rigging system. kirk misjudged the length of
his rope jump and was killed in the resultant impact. From this point forward till 2003, climbers were discouraged from using the Auburn SRA for
technical rock climbing, but it was not technically illegal to climb there. In
2004, the ASRA created a memorandum banning technical climbing which
was in effect until October 2012, where through the hard work of CRAGS
(Climbing Resource Advocates for Greater Sacramento), the Access Fund,
and local climbers the ban was lifted and climbing could legally resume in
the Quarry. Climbers in the early 2000s started re-exploring the area for
rock climbing routes and currently there are almost 50 established routes
within the Auburn State Recreation Area. These routes cater to climbers of
all levels from easy, moderate, and hard levels of climbing.

A large photo gallery in the lobby displays a collection of signed photographs of many celebrities that have either stayed at the Inn, who
have visited for retreat or to star in the long list of films that have
been made in the area. One of the most notable regular guests was
Angela Lansbury, the star of the television series Murder She Wrote.
The Inn is known as the Cabot Cove Inn throughout the series that
features Main Street as the backdrop for the opening credits of the
where Lansbury is riding her bicycle in her television-based hometown of Cabot Cove.
The list of movies filmed in the Mendocino Village is a lengthy one.
Some of the most well-known flicks that filmed on location here were
"East of Eden," "Dying Young," "The Majestic and Pontiac Moon." Not
only did Mendocino provide a visual set for many of these films, it
too provided a great deal of privacy and relaxation for stars between
shoots.
Just a few minutes down the road from town is the Point Cabrillo
Lighthouse and Preserve. Following the 1906 San Francisco earthquake, maritime commerce reached an all time high on the Mendocino coast and a lighthouse became critical. The Point Cabrillo
Lighthouse illuminated the coastline for the first time in 1909 and
operated under the United States Lighthouse Service and the Coast
Guard before it was acquired by the California State Coastal Conservancy in 1991.

The lighthouse is surrounded by more than 200 acres of undeveloped coastal bluffs. The structure has been fully restored
and continues to light up the sky with its unique British built
Fresnel lens. The light keepers house and cottages on the land
are completely furnished with early 1900 period antiques and
available for stays or two nights or more. The land surrounding
the light station is beautiful, with wide open bluffs bordered by
time weathered fences, wild flowers and wild life roaming the
area. During the annual Mendocino Whale Festival in July, Point
Cabrillo offers events for the whole family and spectacular views
for whale watching.
A visit to Mendocino can be a day trip or a several night stay.
The community boasts more than enough activities and sights to
see that regardless of the length of your stay, you will never be
starving for something to do nor will you be lacking choices for
great seaside dining and shopping.

Subaru WRX looks big and boxy for a compact sedan, while the

fenders echo the sentiment. Almost all the sheetmetal is unique

preza. The grille, air dam, hood, fenders and headlights (LED
on upgrade models) are all WRX only. The standard wheels are
17-inch alloys, but some models have 18-inchers that look more
aggressive.
Interior
The flat-bottomed steering wheel is the first thing that catches
your eye when you climb in the car. The manual sport seats are
covered in a grippy fabric, so good that the optional leather not
only isnt necessary, it steals some of the cars character. And
most WRX owners wont need power seats, as theyll be the only
one driving the car.
Forward visibility is good thanks to the hood scoop going shallow, not tall; and to slim A-pillars and a somewhat low shoulder
line. Theres lots of elbow room up front. Theres reasonable
space for two adults in the rear, but three will be pinched.
On the dash, theres a cowl over the main gauges and a smaller
cowl over the 6.2-inch touch screen. Vast expanses of black
plastic come off handsomely, with matte-silver trim.
Theres high road noise inside, to remind you what kind of car
youre in.
Theres an average amount of storage space, even with generous
bins and trays. The trunk is 12-cubic feet, and it opens to the
cabin over the fold-down rear seats. This is where the hatchback
WRX is missed
The turbocharged 2.0-liter engine makes 268-horsepower and
258 pound-feet of torque over a very broad range, from 2,000
rpm to 5,200 rpm. It is a tart performer; Subaru claims 0-to-60
in 5.4 seconds. It will arouse every joint in the cars suspension,
and use every gear in its box. There might be four of them,
depending on how you count. The standard six-speed manual
gearbox or the eight-step CVT. The center differential comes in
two types, to go with the transmissions.
The six-speed mates with a viscous-coupling center differential
that splits torque 50:50 front to rear, while being able to vary
that split side-to-side as grip demands. The shifts are reasonably
short.
The CVT isnt a gearbox because there are no gears, just pulleys
and belts that simulate gear changes. Its the first CVT that
Subaru has built, and it responds probably better than any CVT
weve tested. In Intelligent driving mode, it constantly alters its
gear ratio to deliver the best fuel mileage, an EPA-estimated 28
mpg highway. In Sport manual mode, it allows the driver to paddle-shift through six pre-set ratios that act and sound like gears.
In Sport Sharp mode, it responds like a dual-clutch transmission
(for example the Volkswagen/Audi DSG), with eight virtual gears,
as well as super-swift throttle response. With the CVT, the WRX
gets a different all-wheel-drive system, one using a 45:55 frontrear torque split and more sensitive stability/traction control.
The WRX loves switchback situations. The electric power steering
is tight and the handling composed. With firm shocks and

PREPARATION
There are many different ways to prepare eggs, including hard-boiled, scrambled, sunny side
up, poached, baked and basted. One of the most scrumptious ways to enjoy this delicious
dietary staple is by preparing the attached recipe, Angel Food Cake with strawberries.
STORAGE
How you store and prepare your eggs is key to maximizing their nutritional value. The full
health benefits of eggs can only be realized if you store them properly in the refrigerator and
cook them thoroughly to kill any potential bacteria. Store eggs in the main body of the refrigerator to guarantee that they keep a consistent and cool temperature.
Also, keep eggs in the egg carton to prevent them from absorbing strong odors and flavors
of other foods within your refrigerator; keeping them in the carton also showcases the Best
Before date to confirm freshness and ensures that theyve been stored in the correct posture
(large end up), to help the yolks remain centered.
For more details on where to purchase farm-fresh eggs in Placer County, visit www.placergrown.org/search/eggs.
