The May drive is actually a weekend get away to the Gold Country... On Saturday, May 3, we will have a drive that starts in Folsom and ends in El Dorado Hills - with one stop at a winery and another to explore the town of Coloma. Sunday has us starting in El Dorado Hills and ending in the town of Jackson ..
