placerville is a town near me - named for the style of mining (placer mining - pronounced plah-ser). it's nickname is 'old hangtown' since they used to hang people there back in the day for various crimes like claim jumping, horse theft, etc. there's even a noose and a dummy hanging off side of one of the buildings there on broad street. they didn't mess around back then.
ATG: have you ever been up this way before? (sacramento or tahoe region)?
Yes, I've skied Mamoth and Kirkwood a few times. Reno is close and near that is my favorite town of all Virgina City, Nevada.
