When the upward valley trip isresumed profitable stops may be made at Yountville, St. Helena and atMaple, from each of which points, as at Calistoga, excursions to the hillswill be rewarded by reasonable bags. From Calistoga, going still fartherinto the hills, deer will be found and good trout streams reached. No-where will there be any lack of suitable farm-house entertainment. Napa Valley is wooded, like an English park, in magnificent oaks,certain of them, quercus lobata, with drooping, far-reaching limbs, and theriver borders and hillsides with madrona, laurel, buckeye and [ 14] EL DORADO COUNTY. Placerville, the terminal of Southern Pacific Companys line, is sixtymiles distant from Sacramento. Beginning at Folsom and extending tothe terminus, a distance of thirty-eight miles, small game is everywhereabundant. As the railway train covers the line quail, doves, larks andsquirrels are to be seen in all favorable places. Good sport can be had bystops at Latrobe, Shingle Springs, El Dorado or Diamond. Privategrounds are not open except upon permission of the owner, but usuallythis can be obtained on proper application. There is no lack of unoccupiedand public grounds, and sport is by no means at the mercy of churls.
