Other things to note
If you have never been to the area, and are planning an extended stay, please be aware of the following.

If you wish to buy any items online during your stay, Amazon does ship there, but picking up can be a bit of a hassle. They don't deliver to the house. There are two storage sheds sitting down on the main road in Placerville. One is for FedEx and one is for UPS. They have padlocks and change the combination every couple of months. They are right by the Placerville Fire Station. You can also have smaller items shipped to "Danny" which is the Amazon Locker located at Clarks market in Telluride.

Placerville is about 3 blocks worth of storefronts along the road and that's it. It's a very small town. There's not even a gas station so plan accordingly!
