Granny Getaways Best of IgoUgo

Overview

Quote:
Pour over the rock and recall the Indian women grinding corn for celebrations. The museum has reconstructions of tools, drying sheds, baskets, lots of Maidu artifacts and maps. This is a great place to take a batch of school kids, or your elderly personage who needs a refreshing dose of nature and history.

Quick Tips:

Nobody heads away from towns without water, warm clothes and a picnic basket.

Best Way To Get Around:

Take your own car, van or RV. The restrooms are accessible and possibly open outside museum hours. A fine big meadow for birds and small animals, with a campground nearby.

Amador Inn Best of IgoUgo

Hotel

Quote:
Good, clean, ground floor, spacious and a creek outside with sunset view of foothills. A Denny's on the lot, handy for rainy weather.Town center within walking distance but lots of stairs and steep hills
