Makes perfect sense that I would choose to set my WIP in a Sierra foothill town, albeit a made-up one. Crow's Rest is a thinly-veiled amalgam of several foothill towns, some of which can be surprisingly urbane. Not urban, mind you, which is part of their charm, but with fabulous restaurants and impressive locally grown wines.
One such town is now a state historic park, and I used to be a docent there about a decade ago. We went back recently and the pictures I took are the perfect subjects for a photo essay (click on each one to see it bigger):
An overview of the town nestled along the American River
Detail of the oak trees with their woolly fall coat of moss
One of the historic churches
A springhouse along the trail
Hope you enjoyed this vicarious trip!

The cemetery looks like a place out of Vampire Diaries. Did the fog roll in minutes after you took this? :)
Not this time, but there were crows flying overhead!
