Ihave a love/hate relationship with<br />
camping.<br />
While some of my fondest memories<br />
have taken place in the great outdoors,<br />
so have some I’d rather forget—like the<br />
time my husband and I thought we’d<br />
prepared for and packed everything, only to<br />
discover upon setting up camp that our tent<br />
poles were MIA. Using the (natural) resources<br />
around us—pine trees—as makeshift poles, we<br />
pitched the rainfly over our Tacoma’s truck bed<br />
and bunked up in the back. Did I mention we<br />
also forgot our pillows?<br />
But the backaches didn’t deter us from going<br />
on another adventure—this time with a pottytraining<br />
toddler and teething infant in tow.<br />
Covered in dirt and bug bites, with bags under<br />
our eyes, we left the campground vowing never to go again.<br />
Never say never. Mere months later we found ourselves checking into an RV park<br />
along the Russian River. Instead of an RV, however, our family of four “slept” (maybe<br />
two hours, tops) in a two-person backpacking tent. While we ventured off to our<br />
polyester palace, our relatives—who begged us to come on the trip—slept soundly<br />
on memory-foam mattresses in their temperature-controlled trailers.<br />
But despite the uncomfortable (both physical and mental) moments that every<br />
camping trip brings, each one also comes with plenty of positives. Stepping away<br />
from screens and getting nurtured by nature kindles connection (to the people you’re<br />
with), appreciation (for the great outdoors—and<br />
“There’s a<br />
whole world<br />
out there,<br />
right outside<br />
your window.<br />
You’d be a fool<br />
to miss it.”<br />
—Charlotte Eriksson<br />
the creature comforts typically taken for granted),<br />
and a sense of renewal. Add to that golden brown,<br />
borderline burnt marshmallows, a picture-perfect<br />
setting (water, wildflowers, and trees please!) and<br />
a side of stargazing, and the pros suddenly seem to<br />
outweigh the cons. Also, is it just me, or does food<br />
taste better when it’s cooked over a campfire?<br />
Whether you love, like, or loathe camping, this<br />
month’s feature, “Thrive Outside!” will likely have<br />
you itching (and not because of mosquitos!) to go.<br />
Turn to page 79 for a roundup of the region’s best<br />
camping and glamping spots, helpful hacks for<br />
camping with kids, a spotlight on a Placer County-based business that rents out<br />
refurbished (and fully furnished!) campervans, and more.<br />
In the spirit of birds, bees, and butterflies, check out “Spring Bucket List” (page<br />
16) for 10 wonderful ways to welcome the warmer weather (like sipping farm-tobottle<br />
beers in a barn-turned-brewery setting); “Here Comes the Sun!” (page 54) for<br />
11 outdoor essentials sold at mom-and-pop shops; and the Calendar (page 28) for over<br />
15 can’t-miss alfresco events, including a garden tour, wine and food festival, and an<br />
all-you-can-eat taco throwdown that promises to be muy bueno.<br />
Here’s to soaking up the fresh green of spring—whether it’s sleeping under the<br />
stars, drinking at outdoor bars, or reading this month’s magazine beneath a big blue<br />
sky. Cheers!<br />

How<br />
do you<br />
like your<br />
eggs?<br />
“Deviled! My daughter’s mother-in-law<br />
makes the most wickedly delicious ones;<br />
whenever she brings them to family<br />
events, they’re gone in a matter of<br />
moments!” —Wendy Sipple<br />
“Over medium with melty cheddar,<br />
avocado, and Tapatío!”<br />
—Caitlin McCulloch<br />
“Scrambled with a little cheese melted<br />
in—or sometimes with a dollop of grape<br />
jelly on top. Don’t judge!”—Julie Ryan<br />
“I love eggs any style, but my favorite<br />
is breakfast-in-bed Sundays when my<br />
husband makes his signature style for<br />
me—fried over medium with thick gooey<br />
yokes and toast for dipping—and I get to<br />
snuggle with our daughter.”<br />
—Heather L. Nelson<br />
“Scrambled or over easy!”<br />

aficionado and local resident Mitchell Weitzman<br />
takes the <strong>2023</strong> Toyota Corolla Hybrid AWD<br />
SE for a spin and shares his honest review. “Not a<br />
fun nor compelling vehicle, but one that makes<br />
sense for those who use Venn diagrams and<br />
spreadsheets to make decisions” is just a sneak<br />
peak of what he has to say about it.<br />

#What’sUp?<br />
New Coming<br />
by MEGAN WISKUS<br />
Soon<br />
New&<br />
Alchemy Surf Park, an innovative mixeduse<br />
commercial oasis anchored around the<br />
activities of surfing, health, wellness, and<br />
adrenaline-inspired outdoor recreation, is in<br />
the early planning phases for Placer County.<br />
Created by El Dorado County-based Inland<br />
Surf Company (inlandsurfcompany.com), the<br />
project—scheduled to open near the Highway<br />
65 corridor and still years away—may likely<br />
be the first of its kind in Northern California.<br />
Folsom welcomed T&5 Bakery (t5bakery.<br />
com) to 195 Blue Ravine Road, Suite 100.<br />
Known for their Asian-inspired pastries,<br />
cakes, and extensive boba tea menu, the<br />
café will eventually offer dim sum, too.<br />
Construction is underway at The Shops at<br />
Folsom Ranch—planned for the Highway<br />
50 and East Bidwell Street interchange—<br />
and two businesses have signed leases:<br />
Bento Box (bentoboxmidtown.com), which<br />
has three existing locations in Sacramento<br />
and serves sushi, teriyaki plates, their<br />
namesake bento boxes, and more; and<br />
Slice House (slicehouse.com), a fastcasual<br />
eatery from restaurateur Tony<br />
Gemignani that offers New York, Sicilian,<br />
Grandma, Detroit, and California-style<br />
pizzas (by the slice or whole)—including<br />
gluten-free and vegan choices—<br />
along with local craft beers, pastas,<br />
salads, wings, meatballs, and more.<br />
Stop by Ponderosa Cider Co. (ponderosacider.<br />
com) at 102 Gum Lane, Suite B, in Auburn to<br />
taste an array of hard ciders in an intimate<br />
ambiance. Current draft offerings include<br />
“Pineapple Crush,” a tangy blend of apples and<br />
pineapple; “Sangria De Sidra,” featuring freshpressed<br />
Navel oranges, Meyer lemons, and a<br />
touch of apricot with a spice blend; and “The<br />
Duchess,” made with a blend of heritage apples.<br />
A 3,322-square-foot brewery is coming<br />
to the Folsom Historic District. First<br />
responder-themed Uncle Charlie's<br />
Firehouse & Brew will offer craft beer<br />
and hard seltzers and be sited at 905<br />
Leidesdorff Street (attached to the<br />
public parking garage). If all goes<br />
according to schedule, the establishment<br />
should open in early 2024.<br />
Stop by the newly opened Dosa Biryanizz<br />
Chaat Café (dosabiryanizz.com) at 8121<br />
Madison Avenue, Suite G4, in Fair Oaks<br />
for authentic, full-flavored South Indian<br />
fare (samosas, dosas, butter chicken,<br />
paneer biryani, and more) with ample<br />
vegan and vegetarian options.<br />
Dog Haus (doghaus.com), an award-winning<br />
concept known for its gourmet hot dogs,<br />
sausages, and burgers, as well as plant-based<br />
and fried chicken creations, is scheduled to<br />
open this month at 1501 Blue Oaks Boulevard<br />
in Roseville’s Campus Oaks Center (anchored by<br />
Nugget Markets). The outpost boasts over 20<br />
beers including two nitro offerings (and wine!)<br />
on tap, 10 TVs, and a roll-up garage door that<br />
opens the restaurant up to a spacious patio.<br />
Lupine Paradise<br />
by Bill Wages<br />
Peruse works from 20 local artists at the newly opened For the Love of Art Gallery<br />
(fortheloveofartgallery.com)—located in Downtown Auburn at 882 Lincoln Way and<br />
open daily. The elegant, relaxed gallery also features a guest artist every month.<br />

a buffet line to boil or BBQ at their table) in<br />
addition to beer, wine, and soju-based cocktails.<br />

10 Spot<br />
Spring Bucket List<br />
by CAITLIN MCCULLOCH<br />
Pioneer Village<br />
Pretty Lil Picnic<br />
<strong>April</strong> showers bring May<br />
flowers—but there’s plenty<br />
of non-rainy moments to<br />
be had this month, too! Whether<br />
you’re looking for family time, a<br />
date idea, or something solo where<br />
you can connect with nature, here<br />
are a few local ideas to help you<br />
celebrate spring.<br />
SOAK IN THE SUN (AND<br />
HISTORY)<br />
Step back in time at Folsom’s<br />
Pioneer Village, where you can<br />
learn trade skills through weekly<br />
family craft activities. On the<br />
second Saturday of every month,<br />
you can also partake in the Sutter<br />
Hidden Falls Regional Park<br />
High-Hand Café<br />
UC Davis Arboretum<br />
Street Walking Tour to learn what’s<br />
changed over the years—and<br />
what’s stayed exactly the same.<br />
folsomhistory.org<br />
BOOK A FANCY PICNIC<br />
Picnics are magical, but sometimes<br />
the setup and planning aspect<br />
feel less-than-ideal. Indulge your<br />
bougie side while enjoying some<br />
fresh air with some of our area’s<br />
luxury picnic planners. A Picnic in<br />
the Park (apicnicinthepark.com)<br />
offers various packages, from simple<br />
(includes everything but the food)<br />
to premium (includes grazing boxes,<br />
drinks, dessert, Polaroid camera kit,<br />
and giant Jenga); Pretty Lil Picnic<br />
(prettylilpicnic.com) offers amenities<br />
like a custom message board, selfie<br />
tripod, and Bluetooth speaker;<br />
while Pop-up Picnic Sacramento<br />
(popuppicnicsac.com) puts together<br />
personalized picnics with a teepee,<br />
boho umbrella, basket of games, and<br />
optional add-ons like a charcuterie<br />
board, dessert tower, and more.<br />
WANDER AMONGST<br />
WILDFLOWERS<br />
The Sierra Foothills is bursting with<br />
beautiful blooms to explore, take<br />
photos of, and soak in. Their colors<br />
range from purple and orange to<br />
yellow and red. The Confluence Trail<br />
(visitplacer.com/discover/confluencetrail),<br />
located near Auburn and about<br />
3.5 miles round-trip, is the perfect<br />
place to take in scenic views; plus,<br />
it’s dog-friendly if your furry friend<br />
stays on a leash, so they can stop and<br />
smell the flowers, too. Other top spots<br />
to put a spring in your step? Hidden<br />
Falls Regional Park, Folsom Lake State<br />
Recreation Area, and Cronan Ranch<br />
Regional Trails Park.<br />
GO BIRDING<br />
Thanks to the abundance of trees<br />
and foliage in our area, we also have<br />
an abundance of birds. If you’re<br />
new to birding, El Dorado Birds<br />
(eldoradobirds.com) has compiled<br />
an extensive list of the best birdwatching<br />
locales in our area. At the<br />
top of it is Brown’s Ravine, which<br />
is part of the Folsom Lake State<br />
Recreation Area and boasts birds like<br />
woodpeckers, songbirds, and raptors.<br />
But there are tons of other spots<br />
to see our feathered friends, too,<br />
from the Dave Moore Nature Area,<br />
to the UC Davis Arboretum, Sly Park<br />
Recreation Area, and El Dorado Trail.<br />
BRUNCH IT UP<br />
Sure, you may have visited a nursery<br />
before for some pretty greenage—<br />
but have you dined amongst one?<br />
Step inside a gorgeous greenhouse<br />
in the middle of Loomis’ High-Hand<br />
Nursery for brunch at High-Hand<br />
Café. Delectable dishes are made<br />
from local, farm-fresh ingredients<br />
(some of their eggs come from<br />
Newcastle’s Maple Rock Gardens).<br />
Dining is available six days a week,<br />
but if you’re heading there for<br />
weekend brunch, look forward to<br />

PLAY A ROUND OF GOLF<br />
It’s time to dust those putters<br />
off! With so many public courses<br />
in our region, golfing is the<br />
perfect outing for a sunny day.<br />
Check out The Ridge Golf Course<br />
& Events Center (ridgegc.com) in<br />
Auburn, Folsom’s Empire Ranch<br />
Golf Club (empireranchgolfclub.<br />
com), and Lincoln’s Turkey<br />
Creek Golf Club (turkeycreekgc.<br />
com). If you prefer less walking<br />
with plenty of music, food,<br />
and drinks, hit a few shots at<br />
Roseville’s TopGolf (topgolf.com).<br />
DRINK A COLD ONE<br />
Newcastle’s Hillenbrand Farmhaus<br />
Brewery (hillenbrandbrewery.<br />
com) brings a whole new meaning<br />
to grabbing a beer and hanging<br />
outside. Sitting on 13 acres, the<br />
sprawling property grows their own<br />
fruit and hops, plus they harvest<br />
their beehive honey, bringing<br />
you the ultimate farm-to-bottle<br />
experience. Visitors can look<br />
forward to sips like the lower ABV<br />
“Pineapple Express” and a dark ale<br />
“French Press,” which is made with<br />
Guatemalan coffee beans.<br />
GET BACK ON YOUR BIKE<br />
Bust out the bikes! Riding<br />
around the neighborhood is<br />
perfectly acceptable, but if<br />
The Ridge Golf Course &<br />
Events Center<br />
you’re up for a challenge,<br />
you can’t go wrong with the<br />
American River Bike Trail<br />
(regionalparks.saccounty.gov/<br />
parks/pages/jedediahsmith.<br />
aspx). Also known as the<br />
Jedediah Smith Trail, it runs<br />
the span of Beal’s Point in<br />
Folsom all the way to Discovery<br />
Park in Sacramento and is one<br />
of our region’s crown jewels.<br />
The entire length is roughly 32<br />
miles, so we won’t blame you for<br />
only taking on a portion of it.<br />
VISIT APPLE HILL (FOR<br />
MORE THAN JUST<br />
APPLES!)<br />
This gorgeous area isn't just an<br />
activity for fall. Boa Vista Orchards<br />
(boavista.com) is open 363 days a<br />
year for visitors to sip cider and<br />
munch on baked goods among the<br />
fresh air. There are also plenty<br />
of wineries to check out. Enjoy a<br />
vino tasting while taking in some<br />
incredible alfresco views seven<br />
days a week at Lava Cap Winery<br />
(lavacap.com).<br />
HEAD OUT FOR A HIKE<br />
Take in nature while getting<br />
your steps in. There’s no<br />
shortage of hikes around us,<br />
but a favorite is Hidden Falls<br />
Trail (placer.ca.gov/6106/<br />
hidden-falls-regional-park)<br />
in Auburn—a three-mile,<br />
family-friendly loop where you<br />
can hear relaxing water and<br />
eventually see a waterfall.<br />

Placer County schools value and recognize arts education as a necessary and<br />
required component for our students to develop as well-rounded, lifelong learners<br />
who contribute to the prosperity and quality of life for local and global<br />
communities.<br />
Research shows that learning arts subjects alongside math, history, science and<br />
English have an exponential effect on student success. Students who have an arts<br />
education earn higher grades, have better attendance, are more likely to graduate<br />
from high school, and have better critical thinking and collaboration skills. It's no<br />

Weavers of<br />
Wonderment<br />
Spotlight on Fiber Artists<br />
by HEATHER L. NELSON<br />
From felted wool wearables to surreal silk paintings and<br />
woven mixed media works, these fabulous fiber artists<br />
are highlighting the natural world in freshly fierce ways.<br />
Merridee Joan Smith<br />

A career forensic scientist,<br />
fiber arts brings color, texture,<br />
comfort, and pleasure into<br />
Merridee Joan Smith’s life. “Art<br />
requires passion to take one’s<br />
experiences and render in some<br />
personal form,” shares Smith.<br />
“Science and art require similar<br />
attributes, [which is] how I view<br />
my artistic process: a wonder<br />
of the world, creativity, serious<br />
study, and the ability to observe<br />
closely.”<br />
What’s challenging about<br />
fiber arts?<br />
Although ancient fiber pieces<br />
have been discovered intact,<br />
it’s well-known that bright light<br />
can damage a piece, so you<br />
must be aware of framing and<br />
preservation techniques and<br />
let clients know how to care for<br />
pieces.<br />
What do you enjoy most<br />
about the medium?<br />
I love the history, beauty, tactile<br />
quality, and variety of fiber arts.<br />
Just touching the silk, wool,<br />
and other beautiful fibers is<br />
delightful.<br />
What inspires you?<br />

inspired by the beauty outside my<br />
door in the Sierra Nevada, as well as by<br />
the gardens and scenes of my travels.<br />
natural materials like wool roving is<br />
amazing. What starts as fluff becomes<br />
a solid fabric; [it’s] magic! Botanical<br />
and natural dying is always a surprise.<br />
Leaves will print strong and bright in<br />
the fall, and the same tree—months<br />
later—will have different results.<br />
I’ve learned to let go; surprises are<br />
embraced, and disappointments turn<br />
into wonderful learning experiences.<br />
How did you develop your skills?<br />
As a teen, I had trouble finding clothes<br />
I liked in stores, so I’d sew my own or<br />
alter what I found in thrift stores, which<br />
led to a love of sewing costumes,<br />
getting whimsical, and creating<br />
my own crazy patterns. Fifteen<br />
years ago, I discovered felting wool<br />
and was hooked; since it required<br />
particular color palettes, [it forced<br />
me] to experiment with natural<br />
dyeing and printing using leaves,<br />
flowers, stems, mushrooms, and<br />
lichens.<br />

Friends for 40 years, Deb Cashatt<br />
and Kris Sazaki (aka, “The<br />
Pixeladies”) are in their final season<br />
of collaborating after 20 years<br />
of building their artistic brand.<br />
“Neither one of us would have<br />
started on this path without the<br />
support of the other—we’re braver,<br />
hold each other accountable,<br />
and have complementary<br />
perspectives,” says Sazaki.<br />
What about fiber arts do<br />
you love?<br />
Fabric is tactile—we love running<br />
our hands over the finished pieces.<br />
Whether it be the fabric or the<br />

After running a business sewing period<br />
costumes for weddings, Renaissance<br />
events, and Shakespeare festivals, Terry<br />
Shearn now teaches workshops and<br />
showcases her wearable works at<br />
numerous galleries. “I never go for a<br />
hike without picking up something to<br />
incorporate into my work; every leaf is a<br />
potential print,” she shares.<br />
Why fiber arts?<br />

stitching, this medium adds another<br />
dimension to our work. Often<br />
focused on issues of social justice,<br />
our portraits of women highlight<br />
their courageous lives—whether<br />
advocate, activist, or artist.<br />
What are your most<br />
cherished pieces?<br />
The Fragility of Home is our latest<br />
style of work. We still use modern<br />
technology to print and collage text,<br />
but we started using traditional quilt<br />
patterns to tell part of the story.<br />
Has creating as a team been<br />
challenging?<br />
How we settle on a topic is often the<br />
result of hours-long, if not days-long,<br />
negotiation. But it’s that give and take<br />
that helps us create artwork we can<br />
both be proud of. Don’t be fooled<br />
though—we’ve sat on projects<br />
for years, because we couldn’t<br />
come to an agreement on how<br />
to execute certain ideas.<br />
Isabel Ryder<br />
isabelryder.com<br />
First working with fibers<br />
50 years ago as a graduate<br />
student, Isabel Ryder is<br />
continuing her artistic<br />
exploration after retiring<br />
from a rewarding educational<br />
career. “I’m starting a series<br />
combining wire sculptures<br />
with fiber coiled baskets, and<br />
the challenges invigorate my<br />
creative spirit,” reveals Ryder.<br />
“The [most] exciting aspect of<br />
fiber arts is I can always go in a<br />
Isabel Ryder<br />
different direction each time I approach the<br />
medium.”<br />
Where do you seek inspiration?<br />
I see fiber patterns in nature,<br />
manufacturing, and everyday life. I love<br />
texture and color, so working with fiber is a<br />
natural connection to my studio work. What<br />
draws me to the medium is also interwoven<br />
with the challenges. Cotton fabric is much<br />
easier to work with than silk; knowing that<br />
leads me to sew the silk to a canvas before<br />
stretching it.<br />
What pieces are especially<br />
noteworthy?<br />
I’ve been weaving together canvas paintings<br />
for many years. The lively, vibrant results<br />
surprise and delight. I enjoy experimenting<br />
with various<br />
cores to create<br />
specific shapes and<br />
forms of baskets<br />
and continually<br />
look for ways to<br />
interweave fiber in<br />
interesting ways.<br />
Do you have<br />
any advice<br />
for aspiring<br />
artists?<br />
Experiment with<br />
as many types<br />
of fiber and<br />
processes, and<br />
study from as<br />
many cultures<br />
as you can. The<br />
amazing quilts I’ve<br />
seen with painterly subjects—like<br />
a guitarist or raging creeks—all<br />
contribute to the boundless<br />
directions to go in fiber arts.<br />

Spring Into<br />
Wellness<br />
Tips to Stay Healthy This Season<br />
by MELISSA STRAND<br />
As you’re scrubbing floorboards<br />
and clearing closets to bring an<br />
external sense of renewal and<br />
calm this spring, give your mind,<br />
body, and soul a good cleansing<br />
as well. We asked area experts<br />
on the best ways to bring more<br />
sunshine into your life this season.<br />
Get Connected<br />
“Find a support system that will encourage you<br />
to stay on track with your [fitness] goals. Whether<br />
it's a group of friends, your workout buddies, or<br />
family, let others know about what you’re trying to<br />
accomplish.”—Jamie Ellsworth, Head Coach, FIIT<br />
Nation El Dorado Hills, fiitnation.com<br />
Declutter<br />
“Clearing out physical clutter helps bring mental<br />
clarity and focus and decreases dust buildup,<br />
which can help reduce allergy and asthma<br />
symptoms. Start with one desk drawer or an<br />
area of a room and build from there.”—Sara<br />
Aghamohammadi, MD, Chief Wellness Officer, UC<br />
Davis Health, health.ucdavis.edu<br />
Let’s Go!<br />
“Moving your body and challenging your muscles is<br />
empowering. You build self-confidence, improve your<br />
long-term health, reduce stress and risk of injury, and<br />
feel better overall. Find a program that excites you,<br />
and get moving.” —Jamie Ellsworth, Head Coach, FIIT<br />
Nation El Dorado Hills, fiitnation.com<br />
Small Changes = Big Rewards<br />
“A small change in your diet can improve your<br />
health and help the environment, too. Substitute<br />
half a serving of processed meat and beef per day<br />
with an equal caloric value of nuts, vegetables,<br />
fruits, legumes, and low-environmental-impact<br />
seafood for nutritional health gains and 33% carbon<br />
footprint reductions. Consistently maintaining<br />
small changes to your dietary habits is less mentally<br />
and physically taxing than revamping your entire<br />
diet.”—Sara Aghamohammadi, MD, Chief Wellness<br />
Officer, UC Davis Health, health.ucdavis.edu<br />
Choose Healthy Alternatives<br />
“Eliminate or greatly reduce flour, sugar, and<br />
alcohol. Start small and make healthy swaps<br />

Imagine a world where people of all abilities<br />
have equal access to employment.<br />
This Big Day of Giving, you can help create that world.<br />
A job means so much more than a paycheck; it also has the power to bring connection,<br />
community, and purpose. Today, thousands of people with disabilities in the Sacramento<br />
region are unemployed. Your donations make it possible for people of all abilities to<br />
experience the dignity of a paycheck and the pride that comes with meaningful work.<br />
Building inclusivity, one job at a time.<br />
Show your support and donate now!<br />

like drinking sparkling water instead of wine or beer. Your<br />
cholesterol and glucose levels will naturally decrease<br />
over time and hopefully prevent coronary artery and<br />
neurovascular disease.”—Aly V. Johnston, FNP-BC, Well by AM<br />
Nursing, Inc., wellbyamnursing.com<br />
Take a “Snacktivity Break”<br />
“New research shows exercise ‘snacks,’ which consist of brief<br />
spurts of exertion spread throughout the day, can improve<br />
metabolic health, raise endurance, and stave off some of the<br />
undesirable changes in our muscles that otherwise occur<br />
when we sit too long.”—Sara Aghamohammadi, MD, Chief<br />
Wellness Officer, UC Davis Health, health.ucdavis.edu<br />
Sleep Hygiene<br />
“Try not to look at a backlit screen for 45 minutes prior to falling<br />
asleep and change your pillowcases at least once a week. If you<br />
[still] have difficulty falling or staying asleep, fixing it may be<br />
as simple as hormone or neurotransmitter testing.”—Michele<br />
Wilkerson, ND, Revolutions Naturopathic, revolutionsdocs.com<br />
Time for a Check Up<br />
“Put a plan in place with your primary care physician<br />
to keep your quality of life at its maximum potential.<br />
An annual physical is an important part of that overall<br />
plan. Your doctor will provide a baseline so you can<br />
monitor how things change as you age. This knowledge<br />
and understanding of that baseline is what we all rely<br />
on to formulate a plan of care when you’re not feeling<br />
well.”—Sam Ceridon, MD, Marshall Family Medicine,<br />
marshallmedical.org<br />
Mind Your Mind<br />
“Try meditating outside in your yard or patio. Practice by<br />
looking at the sky, the trees and spring blossoms, and listening<br />
to the birds chirping. We’re often too busy or in a hurry to even<br />
notice these things, and it will bring you a sense of peace and<br />
lift your spirit. Even 5-10 minutes will make a difference in your<br />
day.”—Therese Sorrentino, LMFT, theresesorrentinomft.com<br />
Increase Your H2O<br />
“As the weather warms up and you become more active, it’s<br />
time to think about increasing your daily water intake. Staying<br />
hydrated improves physical performance and helps prevent<br />
fatigue, supports weight loss, boosts your mood, improves<br />
your brain power, prevents headaches, and protects against<br />
disease.”—Pamela Connor, Functional Nutritionist, Connor<br />
Wellness Clinic, connorwellnessclinic.com<br />
Reach Out for Support<br />
“There’s a difference between feeling sad sometimes and<br />
being depressed. Most of us get the blues from time to time,<br />
but if either depression or anxiety are interfering with your<br />
daily life, you should see a therapist. Cognitive behavioral<br />
therapy and learning some coping skills can be very<br />
helpful.”—Therese Sorrentino, LMFT, theresesorrentinomft.<br />
com<br />
Less (Screen Time) is More<br />
“Reduce screen time by 30 minutes and instead add 30<br />
minutes of exercise—whether it’s going for a walk, bike<br />
ride, dancing in your living room, etc. Less screen time<br />
usually leads to more movement and interactions with<br />
others. Making social connections boosts your mood<br />
and improves your health on many levels.”—Pamela<br />
Connor, Functional Nutritionist, Connor Wellness Clinic,<br />
connorwellnessclinic.com<br />
Carbs Are Your Companion<br />
“We all know exercising is important, but eating carbs—<br />
potatoes, yams, rice, and pasta, along with fruits and<br />
vegetables—is also essential. As our primary source of energy<br />
(for body and brain), consuming them improves your overall<br />
physical and mental health. [Contrary to what many people<br />
think], they also don't make you gain weight—eating more<br />
calories than you burn does.”—David Greene, Nasm-CPT, PES,<br />

Scotts Flat Trail<br />
by RYAN MARTINEZ<br />
LOCATED IN:<br />
Nevada City.<br />
DISTANCE:<br />
7.1 miles out-and-back.<br />
DIFFICULTY LEVEL:<br />
Moderate.<br />
KNOW BEFORE YOU GO:<br />
This is a popular trail for<br />
mountain biking, so listen<br />
carefully and be prepared<br />
to move out of the way.<br />
Expect crowds, especially<br />
come summertime. Dogs are<br />
welcome, when leashed, but<br />
may not be a good option with<br />
the bikers. Wear shoes with<br />
traction and lots of layers; pack<br />
plenty of water and, as always,<br />
leave no trace.<br />
WHY WE LOVE IT:<br />
On warmer days, access to the<br />
Scotts Flat Reservoir is ideal for<br />
a midway dip. There are boat<br />
rentals at the reservoir, too, and<br />
a small store for drinks. The trail<br />
has plenty of shade, nice views,<br />
and boasts enough mileage to<br />
work up a sweat (and appetite!).<br />
FUEL UP:<br />
Northridge of Nevada City<br />
(northridgerestaurant.com) is a<br />
classic, small-town restaurant<br />
that has something for<br />
everyone: salads, sandwiches,<br />
burgers, and pizzas. With<br />
a laid-back ambience, it’s a<br />
perfect post-hike place for a<br />
pint (or pitcher!) and a bite. Be<br />
sure to check their website for<br />
weekly specials, too, like “Burger<br />
Mondays,” “Pizza Tuesdays,”<br />
“BBQ Thursdays,” and “Fish<br />
Fridays.”<br />

Essential<br />
Hiking<br />
Gear<br />
Here are a few<br />
must-haves to<br />
always carry in<br />
your pack:<br />
▼<br />
Navigation<br />
Whether your<br />
phone or a physical<br />
map, make sure<br />
you have a way of<br />
identifying your<br />
position. A backup<br />
charger is a good<br />
idea if you rely on<br />
your phone.<br />
▼<br />
First aid kit<br />
Make sure you’re<br />
prepared for minor<br />
scrapes, blisters,<br />
and bruises.<br />
Moleskin is a must!<br />
▼<br />
Sunscreen<br />
No one likes to be<br />
burnt.<br />
▼<br />
Knife<br />
This will come in<br />
handy for many<br />
situations.<br />
▼<br />
Extra food<br />
Keep some snacks<br />
on hand in case of<br />
an emergency.<br />
▼<br />
Extra water/water<br />
filter<br />
▼<br />
Extra clothes<br />
▼<br />
Emergency shelter<br />
and space blanket<br />
▼<br />
Headlamp<br />
This will make your<br />
life much better<br />
when you need it.<br />

COOL STUFF<br />
Let’s Play<br />
Pickleball!<br />
by TERRY CARROLL<br />
Pickleball is all the rage, but<br />
did you know cool gear exists,<br />
too? Play in style with these<br />
pickleballer-approved items.<br />
Paddle<br />
Old guard Selkirk Sport and<br />
relative newcomer JOOLA are<br />
the paddle brands most of<br />
the pros play with. Both offer<br />
numerous models; of course,<br />
grip size and feel will help<br />
you make the right decision.<br />
There are lots of other brands,<br />
too, and for the casual player, many other good<br />
choices. The question of materials is easy: get<br />
graphite! joolausa.com; selkirk.com<br />
Bag<br />
Unless you’re a touring<br />
pro, you really don’t need<br />
that big of a bag. One of<br />
my favorites is a simple<br />
sling bag that will hold your<br />
paddle, balls, wallet, keys,<br />
and all the other necessities.<br />
Keep it simple and move it<br />
around the car, home, and<br />
court with a sling bag from JOOLA. They offer<br />
several options, so do some shopping and have<br />
some fun. joola.com<br />
Playing<br />
The pickleball revolution<br />
is very much alive, and<br />
there are lots of places<br />
to play, but if you’re<br />
looking for that country<br />
club feel (who isn’t?),<br />
then look at Spare Time<br />
Sports Clubs. They offer special membership<br />
pricing for pickleball players at Johnson Ranch<br />
Sports Club in Roseville, Broadstone Sports Club<br />
in Folsom, and Gold River Sports Club. Dink to<br />
your hearts delight! sparetimesportsclubs.com<br />

Q: What approach should those<br />
new to wine take to discover<br />
what they like?<br />
A: Getting into wine can be<br />
intimidating—there's a lot of<br />
different types and styles to<br />
choose from. My suggestion? Go<br />
out tasting at local wineries and<br />
try everything you can. It will help<br />
you develop your palate and figure<br />
out what wines you like (and don’t<br />
like). Finally, go into it with an open<br />
mind; you’ll be pleasantly surprised<br />
by what you find.<br />

Services or products you offer: Colorful, unisex, and<br />
oversized clothing for babies and toddlers.<br />
What you enjoy most about your profession: Being able to<br />
create comfortable and fun kids’ clothes.<br />
You started your business, because: When I was pregnant<br />
with my first son, Maxence, I was so excited to start buying<br />
baby clothes but couldn't find anything for boys that wasn't<br />
blue or didn’t have trucks or dinosaurs on it. I decided to<br />
create my own colorful clothing that could be worn by both<br />
girls and boys, leaving outdated societal gender norms behind.<br />
Most memorable experience as an entrepreneur: The first<br />
sale we made and seeing that our brand had reached the<br />
other side of the U.S.<br />
First job: The juice bar inside World Gym in Citrus Heights.<br />
I'll never forget it!<br />
Favorite food: Vegan pad Thai.<br />
Favorite local restaurant: Selland's Market-Café.<br />
Last big purchase: A new couch for my living room.<br />
Favorite local event: The weekly Folsom Mom Walk that<br />
starts at World Traveler Coffee Roasters—I couldn't live<br />
without my fellow mamas!<br />
Favorite small business: I love the selection at Brainy Zoo Toys.<br />

Clean<br />
Sweep<br />
Housekeeping How-Tos<br />
by KOURTNEY JASON<br />
S<br />
pring cleaning. Those two words often trigger<br />
panic, stress, and anxiety. But spring cleaning<br />
doesn’t have to be a dreaded chore, says<br />
Renee Miesse, owner of Got It Maid Domestic Agency<br />
(gotitmaidhousecleaning.com). “Get the family together,<br />
turn on your favorite music, and plan a nice reward at<br />
the end of the day,” she says. Miesse recommends a deep<br />
clean at least once a year. “More often is even better,” she<br />
says. Colleen Benson Rathe, owner of Village General<br />
Store & Refillery (villagegeneralstore.co), likes to use the<br />
changing of seasons as a reminder to perform certain<br />
home maintenance and recommends three or four<br />
thorough cleanings a year.<br />
Whether you’re overwhelmed by where to begin or<br />
ready to tackle every nook and cranny, we asked the<br />
experts for their top tips and tricks on getting your home<br />
clean, organized, and functional this spring.<br />
BEFORE YOU BEGIN<br />
“Start by decluttering and organizing. Go through junk<br />
drawers, makeup drawers, your home office, closets,<br />
etc., and get rid of expired items or things you no longer<br />
want/need,” Miesse says. Rathe agrees. “Take stock of<br />
what you have. [Doing so] will reduce the likelihood of<br />
redundant purchases in the future, which lead to more<br />
clutter and waste,” Rathe says. “If you're on the fence<br />
about getting rid of items, place them in a purgatory box.<br />
If you don't reach for them within six months, it’s time<br />
for them to find a new home.” While organizing, don’t<br />
neglect the fridge and pantry, either. “Take everything<br />

| home & garden |<br />
out, wipe shelves down, check<br />
expiration dates, and then put<br />
everything back in an organized<br />
and categorized fashion,” suggests<br />
Gabi Miszti, owner and founder of<br />
Organizing Beyond Expectations<br />
(organizingbeyondexpectations.com).<br />
Before throwing unwanted<br />
items away or donating to charity,<br />
Rathe encourages you to “utilize<br />
local groups (like Buy Nothing and<br />
Facebook Marketplace) or turn to<br />
your social circle to find them new<br />
homes.” And if you must dispose<br />
of products? “Utilize websites like<br />
how2recycle.info or calrecycle.ca.gov<br />
to find out how to responsibly do so.”<br />
OFTEN-FORGOTTEN<br />
TASKS<br />
While the obvious places<br />
(kitchen, living room, bedrooms,<br />
bathrooms) and tasks (vacuuming,<br />
mopping, etc.) are probably part<br />
of your regular cleaning routine,<br />
spring is the perfect time to pay<br />
attention to other, often-forgotten<br />
places that collect grit and grime.<br />
“Work from top to bottom.<br />
Start with cobwebbing, cleaning<br />
vents, taking down light fixtures,<br />
and cleaning fans,” Miesse says.<br />
“This is also a good time to change<br />
batteries in smoke detectors and<br />
carbon monoxide detectors and<br />
replace furnace filters.”<br />
Other commonly forgotten<br />
areas? The refrigerator and<br />
washer/dryer. “Remove the lower<br />
cover in your fridge, vacuum any<br />
dust that has accumulated, and<br />
clean the gasket,” Miesse says.<br />
“Be sure to move the washer and<br />
dryer out and clean the floor/walls<br />
behind them.”<br />
According to Miszti, “The<br />
primary suite walk-in closet<br />
is an area nobody [typically]<br />
cleans, even housekeepers.” She<br />
suggests emptying the entire<br />
closet then wiping down shelves<br />
and light fixtures, and vacuuming<br />
baseboards and the carpet. “It’s<br />
incredible to see how much dust<br />
can accumulate in an area that<br />
everybody tends to forget. I reset<br />
mine at least twice a year.”<br />

Remember: Cleaning and<br />
maintenance go hand in hand.<br />
This includes regular care of<br />
things like cast iron cookware,<br />
raw/unsealed wood cutting<br />
boards or utensils, mortar and<br />
pestle, and knives. “These items<br />
require conditioning, seasoning,<br />
oiling, and/or sharpening. Yes,<br />
it takes extra effort, but you’ll<br />
lengthen their lifespan, which<br />
saves you money and saves them<br />
from the landfill,” Rathe says.<br />
COMMON CLEANING<br />
MISTAKES<br />
Most people underestimate<br />
the time it will take to do a<br />
thorough cleaning. To make it<br />
feel less overwhelming, Miesse<br />
recommends “concentrating on<br />
one room at a time.” Miszti says<br />
"regularly tidying" up rooms<br />
and doing light vacuuming<br />
daily (especially in the kitchen/<br />
dining room and especially if<br />
you have kids or pets), having<br />
designated places for belongings,<br />
and thoroughly vacuuming and<br />
mopping floors weekly can all be<br />
helpful to lessen the load when it<br />
comes to doing a bigger clean.<br />
The products you’re using<br />
and the materials you’re using<br />
them on are also incredibly<br />
important. “Research the<br />
materials used in your home and<br />
clean appropriately. Unsealed<br />
stone, concrete, stainless<br />
steel, and porcelain all have<br />
different care requirements,”<br />
Rathe shares. “Liquid bleach or<br />
bleach-based products such as<br />
Tilex have the potential to spill<br />
or overspray, causing bleached<br />
spots on carpet/rugs; an ecofriendly<br />
option is using a steam<br />
cleaner. Also, baking soda, white<br />
vinegar and dish soap can be<br />
used if you prefer,” Miesse says.<br />
Other sustainable options?<br />
“Using washable cleaning cloths<br />
(dusters, mop heads, rags) and<br />
all-purpose cleaner concentrate<br />
with degreasing properties,”<br />
Rathe says.<br />

They’re in the news, mentioned at the Academy Awards, by<br />

that more people recognize that obesity is a disease and that it<br />
can and IS being treated successfully.<br />
Semaglutide, the medication marketed as Wegovy for obesity<br />
and Ozempic and Rybelsus marketed for diabetes, and the<br />
newest, tirzepatide marketed as Mounjaro are proving to be<br />
a game changer for the treatment of obesity. Word has been<br />
spreading like wildfire and they are flying off the shelves! It’s<br />
no wonder when people are achieving 15-20% of total body<br />
weight loss with continued use.<br />
We are very excited to offer these medications at Hendricks for<br />

camping 101<br />
by RYAN MARTINEZ<br />
For many, our first real experience with the outdoors begins with a simple family<br />
camping trip. As adults, we continue to pass on the joys of camping to newer<br />
generations, knowing the benefits it brings mentally, physically, and emotionally.<br />
For me, a simple two-day fishing trip fueled a lifetime of adventure-seeking and mountain<br />
climbing. Connecting to the primordial and instinctive nature of humankind is as simple<br />
as starting a fire, cooking on an open flame, or even staring into the vast expanse of an<br />
open night sky. These things remind us of our evolution in technology, survival, and even<br />
consciousness. If it fails at any of that, well…it’s just a plain old good time.<br />
The benefits are innumerable: a quiet respite from the stresses of daily life, connecting<br />
with the family in a wholesome way free from gadgets,<br />
reconnecting with nature, and even resetting your<br />
natural sleep cycles are just a few gifts camping has<br />
to offer.<br />
Yet getting outside doesn’t always mean getting<br />
outside your comfort zone. With advances<br />
in technology, boutique lodging, and the<br />
explosion of the van life innovations, your<br />
next trip out can be just as comfy as a movie<br />
night on the sofa.<br />

American River Resort<br />
For those who want to camp with a<br />
taste of luxury, our beautiful backyard<br />
is home to many spots that offer<br />
cabins, camping, and glamping so you<br />
can set up a comfy home base and<br />
explore in style.<br />
AMERICAN RIVER<br />
RESORT<br />
The American River Resort is just<br />
one example of a great escape<br />
destination. Located just minutes<br />
from where gold was first discovered,<br />
the resort is quietly settled along<br />
the banks of the South Fork of the<br />
American River Resort<br />
American River, setting the stage for<br />
both epic adventures and a serene<br />
escape.<br />
Their traditional tent camping spots<br />
include private fire pits and picnic<br />
tables with two settings to choose from:<br />
mountain view—situated within the oak<br />
forest near the RV hookup area (perfect<br />
if you’re with a group that has both<br />
tent campers and RVers) and featuring<br />
views of Mt. Murphy and the resort’s<br />
scenic pond—and riverside, which, you<br />
guessed it, are right on the shores of<br />
the American River (some overlook<br />
the South Fork’s most notorious rapid:<br />
“The Troublemaker”). Enjoy watching<br />
as people tackle the most exciting part<br />
of the river during the day and soothe<br />
yourself to sleep at night with the sound<br />
of running water. And if swimming in<br />
rivers isn’t your thing, the in-ground pool<br />
just a short walk away will surely suffice.<br />
For those who want to avoid the troubles<br />
of packing up all their cumbersome<br />
camping gear, glamping will be your new<br />
favorite word, and the American River<br />
Resort might be your new favorite spot.<br />

you need to bring is your sleeping bag,<br />
jammies, and favorite pillows.<br />
Unlike many common RV sites, those at<br />
the American River Resort are quietly<br />
nestled into the oak meadows—away<br />
from other sites—offering a serene<br />
landscape to soak in the wonders of the<br />
outdoors with ample room to roam. For<br />
RVers, the resort has full hookups to<br />
power, water, and sewer.<br />

CAMP NAUVOO<br />
If you’re seeking something a little more<br />
private, cozy, and fitted with fun games,<br />
then Camp Nauvoo checks all the boxes.<br />
Located on the outskirts of Placerville,<br />
the camp was originally founded in the<br />
1960s as a girls’ camp, later to become<br />
a Boy Scout camp, until finally being<br />
transformed into the family-friendly<br />
camp destination it is today.<br />
The off-the-beaten path getaway<br />
boasts over 86 acres of tranquil<br />
scenery, with traditional tent camping<br />
and a choice of beautiful safari tents,<br />
mini glamping tents, or a teepee<br />
glamping experience.<br />
The secluded nature of Camp Nauvoo<br />
makes it an excellent kid-friendly<br />
choice, with tons of activities like ping<br />
pong, pickleball, corn hole, basketball,<br />
and volleyball. The fun doesn’t stop<br />
there though. The camp also has swing<br />
sets, seesaws, and tractor<br />
play. With large group sites<br />
on the premises, you can<br />
even plan a getaway with<br />
several families for some<br />
added fun.<br />
The glamping safari<br />
tents themselves are<br />
definitely “Instagram<br />
worthy” and bring cozy<br />
getaway vibes, while the<br />
teepees are a seriously<br />
fun option for kiddos.<br />
The camp also offers<br />
multiple sites to pitch<br />
a tent and unwind, too,<br />
and feature propane<br />
fire pits and picnic tables.<br />
Take note that open fires<br />
are not allowed, and the<br />
camp offers propane<br />
barbecues for cooking.<br />
Regardless of how you<br />
choose to stay, you<br />
still have access to the<br />
on-site amenities like<br />
covered dining, bathrooms<br />
with flushing toilets, hot<br />
showers, electricity for<br />
charging your (hopefully unused)<br />
gadgets, and even a compressor to<br />
blow up those comfy air mattresses.<br />
They also have a small selection of<br />
rental gear and a store to pick up<br />
forgotten amenities.<br />
Being close to home yet far from<br />
city life, you can easily access many<br />
fun outdoor activities, including<br />
rafting, horseback riding, hiking,<br />
swimming, and all the other outdoor<br />
escapes our backyard is known for.<br />

COLOMA RESORT<br />
If you want something even comfier,<br />
Coloma Resort offers incredible<br />
cabins right along the edge of the<br />
American River (adjacent to the<br />
Marshall Gold Discovery State<br />
Historic Park). The cabins vary,<br />
but offer all the comfort needed—<br />
Camp Nauvoo<br />

queen-sized beds, lofts, and a family<br />
room with a pull-out sofa. The full<br />
kitchens include a coffee maker,<br />
microwave, stove, oven, fridge, pots,<br />
pans, and even dishes so you can<br />
make your favorites after a day<br />
of alfresco adventures. They have<br />
multiple offerings, so check to see<br />
which cabin is right for you.<br />
The leveled tent and RV sites have a<br />
private fire pit (open fires allowed),<br />
picnic tables, and private water and<br />
electricity hookups with a choice of<br />
riverfront sites or off-river ones.<br />
There are also clean bathrooms with<br />
running water and hot showers.<br />
Morning river walks call for coffee—<br />
and for the best cup in town<br />
(alongside a menu full of fresh,<br />
healthy food made using locally<br />
sourced ingredients), it’s only a short<br />
stroll to The Argonaut. On summer<br />
weekends, you can listen to live<br />
music, too, while enjoying gelato,<br />
sandwiches, and a pint on their<br />
picturesque patio.<br />
Coloma Resort<br />
Note: There’s a two-night minimum stay<br />
for cabins, tent sites, and RV sites, and a<br />
maximum of two pets are allowed (additional<br />
fee of $5 per night, per pet).<br />

INN TOWN CAMPGROUND<br />
If you want to get to the north side of the<br />
Tahoe National Forest, Inn Town Campground<br />
is a wonderful option. Founded in 2016, the<br />
15-acre property is just minutes from Nevada<br />
City and boasts fun activities like open-air<br />
movies, holiday events, a swimming pool,<br />
Wi-Fi, and a fully stocked camp store for your<br />
convenience.<br />
Built from a passion for the outdoors and a love<br />
of our community, owners Dan and Erin Thiem<br />
have created a fun, family-friendly spot amid<br />
the lofty pines. Their love of the outdoors can<br />
be felt in the details, like the open-air showers<br />
and indoor and outdoor spaces for families and<br />
friends (both new and old!) to gather.<br />
Options to camp include 20 charming<br />
glamping tents with electricity, heated<br />
mattress pads, and private balconies or<br />
porches that bring the best of glamping to<br />
Nevada City. Each one has a slightly different<br />
aesthetic but the same cozy mountain vibe.<br />
The campground also has 30 tent sites with<br />
propane-only fire pits (due to the high fire<br />
danger in the area), so be aware that woodburning<br />
fires aren’t allowed.<br />

THE GREAT<br />
by Megan Wiskus<br />

If you’re seeking a place to snooze that’s<br />
a step up from glamping with a hip,<br />
outdoorsy vibe, then check out Basecamp<br />
Hotel (basecamphotels.com). The boutique<br />
property (locations in South Lake Tahoe and<br />
Tahoe City) is perfect for adventure-seekers who<br />
crave creature comforts (Wi-Fi, a walk-in shower,<br />
luxurious bedding). Guests are encouraged to come<br />
together in cozy communal areas to share stories<br />
and exchange tips before heading out for some<br />
fresh air fun. The “Great Indoors” room—which<br />
comes inclusive of a faux log fire, picnic table,<br />
indoor tent, camping chairs, and more—is especially<br />
enticing for families who want the camping<br />
experience without the bugs, shared bathrooms,<br />
and uncomfortable elements that often come with<br />
it. Rates are reasonable and include some appealing<br />
amenities, too, like fire pits, s’mores, and craft beer.<br />

Dreaming of RV life? We reached out<br />
to local expert and RV consultant<br />
Jim Pelley about what you need to<br />
consider before getting your first RV.<br />
The main consideration is how you will<br />
use it. You need to work backwards<br />
and consider whether you’ll be living<br />
full-time in it or going the weekend<br />
warrior route. This will help narrow<br />
down the options. As Pelley says, the<br />
wrong decision can cost a fortune to<br />
remediate.<br />
You have two essential options:<br />
motorhome or trailer. A motorhome is<br />
comfortable and can tow a car but is<br />
hard to drive in certain areas; a trailer<br />
allows you to unhook and have your<br />
truck ready to explore.<br />
Here are some more quick tips for RV<br />
newbies:<br />
• How long will you be staying<br />
inside? Remember, you’ll have at<br />
least one trip where you don’t go<br />
outside the RV.<br />
• Is it insulated? Many first-time<br />
buyers don’t consider this and think<br />
their two-season RV is ready for a<br />
winter in Tahoe…not the case, and this<br />
is often not advertised.<br />
• Floor plan. Is the bed big enough?<br />
Is the shower tall enough? Is there<br />
enough counter space?<br />
• Holding tanks. Will your RV hold<br />
enough water? Will the “black water”<br />
or sewage tanks last long enough?<br />
This will largely depend if you plan<br />
on hooking up at campsites or going<br />
off grid.<br />
• Electricity. Do you need to buy a<br />
generator to power your electronics<br />
or is there an on-board generator?<br />
You don’t want to park the RV only to<br />
realize you can’t use your electronics<br />
because the dealer forgot to<br />
mention the outlets don’t work<br />
without a generator!<br />
• Cargo carrying capacity. How much<br />
weight do you plan on bringing?<br />
Consider the amount of people, your<br />
equipment, tools, toys, dishes, etc.<br />
You may find you need a heftier RV.<br />
• Know your gear. Most RVs don’t<br />
have a pressure regulator. You may<br />
need to add an extra in-line filter if<br />
you plan on hooking up at campsites.<br />
Electric? Wi-Fi? Storage?<br />
• All about the extras. Do you need to<br />
budget for a generator? How about a<br />
floor mat, awning, chairs, etc.?<br />
• Where are you going? There are two<br />
types of campgrounds: Full hookups<br />
(water, sewer, electricity) and no<br />
hookups. Where you plan on going<br />
will dictate the rig you need.<br />
• “Play house.” Pelley recommends<br />
spending an hour at the dealership<br />
“playing house” to really imagine<br />
living in the RV. Someone he met<br />
once bought a trailer and didn’t<br />
realize you couldn’t use the toilet<br />
and shut the door at the same<br />
time…oops! According to Pelley, “It’s<br />
amazing how many people will spend<br />
hundreds of thousands of dollars<br />
and not even try the bed!”<br />
AIRSTREAM<br />
An American icon since hitting the<br />
highways in the ’30s, Airstream<br />
(airstream.com) is undoubtably one<br />
of the most recognized, respected<br />
names in the RV world and in a<br />
league of its own. Easy on the<br />
eyes and always “in style,” thanks<br />
to sturdy, modern, aerodynamic<br />
aluminum exteriors and<br />
interiors brimming with comfort,<br />
convenience, and attention to<br />
detail, an Airstream investment will<br />
stand the test of time and bring a<br />
lifetime of memories.<br />

f you haven’t heard of<br />
#vanlife, well…that’s a little<br />
strange. The Instagram craze<br />
has become symbol of the<br />
dream life, a luxurious overland<br />
experience bridging the gap<br />
between epic adventures and<br />
the comforts of home. While the<br />
lifestyle has been idealized by<br />
digital nomads and influencer<br />
travel couples across the globe,<br />
the comforts of van life can<br />
now be experienced, thanks to<br />
Scenic Vanlife (scenicvans.com)<br />
in Rocklin.<br />
The couple behind the company—<br />
Emily and Kevin Fannan—has a<br />
selection of camper vans available<br />
to rent that will take you on your<br />
next adventure—whether it’s<br />
a weekend, week, month, or<br />
longer—in style and comfort.<br />
Forget the headache of packing<br />
the tent, setting up camp,<br />
finding bathrooms and showers,<br />
worrying about electricity;<br />
each van comes fully equipped<br />
to bring life in the home to the<br />
great outdoors. The best part?<br />
They offer free trip planning and don’t charge for mileage, so<br />
customers are always encouraged to take the scenic route.<br />
Campervans, like the ones you can rent from Scenic<br />
Vanlife, are a cross between a utility van and an RV, with<br />
an easy-to-drive home fully furnished with a bed, kitchen,<br />
and even a bathroom—so you can go off the grid with a<br />
portable home. Sleeping between two to five people, the<br />
vans are fully equipped with propane stoves for cooking,<br />
dining areas that convert to either a queen bed or two<br />
twins, hot showers, sinks, and RV toilets. These adventure<br />
mobiles could be your transporation (and accommodation)<br />
for your family’s next trip to one of our great national<br />
parks or even just a trip to the woods or along the coast.<br />
I personally have dreamed of the #vanlife. The freedom to<br />
roam without the sacrifice of comfort is just so appealing.<br />
And not having to learn how to drive a massive RV that<br />
can only be parked in certain places is a huge plus—simply<br />
start the car and move camp; it’s that simple. Your house<br />
on wheels moving from one beautiful spot to another…what<br />
more could you ask for?<br />

When it comes to my camping gear<br />
essentials list, it wouldn’t be complete<br />
without the AeroPress Go—a simple<br />
coffee maker optimized for the<br />
outdoors because everything packs<br />
up into the included mug for easy<br />
carrying. Essentially a hybrid<br />
between espresso and a French<br />
press, the result is a delicious cup<br />
of coffee that you may want<br />
to enjoy even when you’re not<br />
camping (believe me, I’ve done it<br />
at home).<br />
Here’s how to make a<br />
delicious morning cup o’ joe.<br />
• Put included filter into<br />
bottom of the AeroPress Go.<br />
• Add about two tablespoons<br />
of your favorite roast (a good<br />
local blend is Chocolate Fish<br />
Coffee Roasters’ Finca San Luis with<br />
cherry sweetness, dark berry acidity,<br />
and a milk chocolate finish).<br />
• Place over your coffee mug. I like the insulated ones<br />
from Yeti, but anything will work.<br />
• Pour hot (not boiling) water over the coffee.<br />
• Stir grounds until fully submerged and air is removed.<br />
• Let steep for about one minute.<br />
• Use included plunger to press the coffee out of the<br />
thank us later.<br />
AeroPress Go.<br />
• Add optional cream and sugar—or Irish cream liqueur.<br />

with kids<br />
Planning on getting out with the kiddos?<br />
Here are some helpful hacks to make<br />
some (good) lifetime memories.<br />
Looking for a fun meal to make? Why<br />
not try campfire nachos! This is a fun<br />
way to share a meal while you sip your<br />
favorite beverage (maybe a SR16<br />
Double IPA from Crooked Lane?).<br />
• Plan ahead. Reserve your spot,<br />
plan your meals, and create your<br />
gear checklist before you head out.<br />
When traveling, especially camping,<br />
with young ones, it’s best to avoid<br />
unwanted surprises so everything<br />
runs smoothly.<br />
• Know how to use your gear.<br />
Whether setting up a tent or<br />
converting your van’s dining room<br />
table into a bed, it’s best to know<br />
how to set up beforehand. Do a test<br />
run the weekend before to make<br />
sure you know how to set up—and<br />
to ensure you have everything you<br />
need.<br />
• Pack for all weather. Make sure<br />
you have layers and a windbreaker/<br />
rain jacket. I always have my puffy<br />
packed in there for when night falls.<br />
• Stick to your normal schedule.<br />
Young kids appreciate a schedule,<br />
so try to follow your normal routine<br />
as much as possible. Wake-up<br />
rituals, breakfast, naps, before bed<br />
activities (yes, bring their go-to<br />
bedtime books!)…all the things you<br />
normally do.<br />
Here’s how to cook some epic nachos<br />
in the outdoors. While we recommend<br />
a Dutch oven, you can also use a cast<br />
iron skillet with a lid. Don’t have a lid<br />
for your skillet? No problem! Cover<br />
the top using a piece of aluminum foil.<br />
CAMPFIRE<br />
NACHOS<br />
• Spray a<br />
fine layer of oil<br />
into the pan. We<br />
love avocado<br />
oil because it<br />
withstands higher<br />
temps, but anything will do. Tip:<br />
Use a piece of parchment paper<br />
on the bottom instead of oil for<br />
easier cleanup.<br />
Camping With Kids photos by Megan Wiskus. Campfire Cooking illustration © sabelskaya-stock.adobe.com.<br />
• Arrive with plenty of light. You’ll<br />
want to set up before dark, so you<br />
aren’t scrambling in obscurity. Bring<br />
a headlamp anyway.<br />
• Pack the right gear. Make sure<br />
you have your tent, stove, propane,<br />
sleeping bags/sleeping pads,<br />
pillows, headlamp, first aid kit<br />
(plus any medicine that might be<br />
needed), and everything else you<br />
need to bring to make it a great<br />
(and comfortable) trip for the kids.<br />
• Break the norm. OK—we know we<br />
just told you to follow all the rituals<br />
(and you should), but this is a time<br />
to do something new and fun. Make<br />
it an adventure! Go rafting, hiking,<br />
horseback riding, play hide and<br />
seek…be a kid with your kids.<br />
• Add a layer of tortilla chips.<br />
• Sprinkle your favorite blend of<br />
cheeses.<br />
• Add a layer of black beans.<br />
• Add an optional layer of cooked<br />
ground beef, chicken, or choice of<br />
meat.<br />
• Cube an avocado and add about a<br />
handful evenly over the nachos.<br />
• Add a bit of salsa or roasted green<br />
chilies (Hatch is always the best).<br />
• Top with finely chopped green<br />
onions and cilantro.<br />
• Repeat for layers two and three.<br />
• Cover and cook for about 10<br />
minutes until cheese is melted.<br />
• Serve with a wedge of lime.<br />

Personally, no spirit<br />
screams the outdoors as<br />
much as a good bourbon.<br />
If that’s your thing too,<br />
an Old Fashioned will fit<br />
the mood perfectly. Here’s<br />
what you need.<br />
Old Fashioned<br />
• Aromatic bitters, like<br />
Angostura.<br />
• Simple syrup. Buy one in<br />
a squeeze bottle or buy a<br />
separate squeeze bottle for<br />
ease-of-use outdoors.<br />
• Cherries. We love the ones<br />
made by Woodford Reserve<br />
or Fabbri Amarena.<br />
• Your favorite bourbon:<br />
Woodford Reserve,<br />
Bulleit, Maker’s Mark, Basil<br />
Hayden…choose a good one.<br />
• Oranges.<br />
• Ice.<br />
If you can’t be bothered<br />
playing bartender while<br />
camping, then check out the<br />
canned vino offerings<br />
from Wise Villa Winery<br />
or the Bulleit Old Fashioned<br />
Cocktail that comes premade<br />
and can be served<br />
up or over ice. Easy<br />
peasy!<br />
To prepare:<br />
• Add a couple dashes of bitters to<br />
your cup of choice.<br />
• Add 1-1.5 tablespoons simple syrup<br />
(more if you like ‘em sweet), plus an<br />
optional teaspoon of cherry juice<br />
(it’s delicious, trust me).<br />
• Add two shots of bourbon.<br />
• Stir with ice until chilled. Strain over<br />
fresh ice, if possible.<br />
• Cut orange peel and spritz the oils<br />
over the top of the drink. Add to<br />
drink.<br />
• Pop in a cherry garnish.<br />
• Enjoy peacefully!<br />

3 FAMILY-FRIENDLY<br />
SEASIDE ESCAPES<br />
by MEGAN WISKUS<br />
Traveling with kids is an adventure in and of itself.<br />
From the journey of getting to your destination, to<br />
the sleep (or lack thereof), and logistics of planning<br />
a kid-friendly but adult-approved itinerary, it can<br />
certainly be stressful. But the memories made are<br />
worth every meltdown. Here, we share three of<br />
our favorite family-friendly escapes, with what to<br />
do and where to stay. No kids? No problem. All the<br />
suggestions are equally fun for big kids, too!<br />
Half Moon Bay<br />
When it comes to small-town charm, Half Moon Bay<br />
tops the charts. Quiet country roads, some of our<br />
state’s most stunning scenery, and a bustling Main<br />
Street brimming with mom-and-pop businesses<br />
make the quaint seaside city a much-loved locale.<br />
Just over two hours from Sacramento, it’s the<br />
perfect getaway if you’re craving cool ocean air and<br />
seriously fresh seafood with a side of solitude.<br />

Half Moon Bay Brewing Company will<br />
be your new best friend. With awardwinning<br />
suds (like the crowd-pleasing<br />
Kölsch) and elevated pub grub made<br />
using fresh ingredients and sustainable<br />
seafood, the casual coastal “surf shack”<br />
is the perfect place to grab a pint and<br />
an order of oysters, ahi poke, or a<br />
steaming bowl of bacon-studded clam<br />
chowder while watching the waves go by.<br />

4. It’s Italia<br />
Craving the flavors of Italy in an<br />
ambiance that’s as authentic as the<br />
food? Book a table at It’s Italia—a Half<br />
Moon Bay institution since opening<br />
in the mid-’90s. Serving a full range<br />
of California-Italian cuisine using the<br />
bounty of local farms, wineries, and<br />
fisheries, a meal here is a must. The<br />
attentive service, old-world environs,<br />
and unforgettable fare (slow-roasted<br />
short ribs, artichoke ravioli, seafood<br />
risotto, house-rolled gnocchi,<br />
Fitzgerald Marine Reserve<br />
and wood-fired pizzas) make it a<br />
restaurant that’s ideal for all occasions.<br />

5. Fitzgerald Marine Reserve<br />
A visit to Half Moon Bay wouldn’t be<br />
complete without a beach day. And while<br />
we highly recommend packing a picnic<br />
and flying a kite at Poplar Beach (which<br />
is “popular” for good reason…and pupfriendly!),<br />
Fitzgerald Marine Reserve—a<br />
rocky seashore sanctuary that’s home to<br />
a living community of protected marine<br />
life—is an experience the whole family<br />
will treasure. Arrive around low tide to<br />
“sea” a variety of algae, crabs, sponges,<br />
seals, sea stars, mollusks, and more. Please<br />
note: Fitzgerald is a place of research,<br />
education, and observation of wild<br />
animals in their natural habitat; collecting<br />
and touching creatures is prohibited.<br />

Maneki<br />
Sushi<br />
by RYAN MARTINEZ | photos by TAYLOR GILLESPIE<br />
Takoyaki<br />
My new go-to sushi spot has emerged.<br />
Sprouting from the Bay Area’s eventinspired<br />
Bay Boys Brewing, Maneki has<br />
taken the tradition of live music, good beer,<br />
and fun environs and injected some of the<br />
freshest sushi to hit Roseville.<br />
Delivering unforgettable flavors since opening in<br />
December 2022, Head Chef Will Hunt brings over 15 years<br />
of experience in the sushi industry, and his expertise<br />
is clear from first sight. Having worked in many of<br />
the biggest sushi restaurants in the area, he brings an<br />
inspired level of craftsmanship to every plate.<br />
It's evident from their Instagram that Maneki focuses<br />
on fresh flavors and high-quality ingredients, elaborating<br />
on sashimi and nigiri with welcome touches, like a brush<br />
of aged soy sauce and unique textural elements. You’ll also<br />

All the rolls were fantastic;<br />

were incredible, and the<br />

”<br />
Fog City Roll<br />

see very little fried sushi, which<br />
sets Maneki apart from most of<br />
the region’s other sushi spots.<br />
Born from a brewery and<br />
inspired by the Bay Area, you can<br />
expect some good brews, too. We<br />
opted for the Bay Boys classic: a<br />
West Coast IPA. You should know,<br />
however, that they also brew an<br />
exclusive Japanese lager that pairs<br />
perfectly with sushi.<br />
We were seated by our friendly<br />
waitress who showed us around the<br />
menu and made some (amazing)<br />
suggestions. We started with<br />
takoyaki, a classic round-shaped<br />
Japanese snack made from a slightly<br />
sweet batter filled with octopus and<br />
served with a drizzle of unagi sauce<br />
and Japanese mayo (kewpie). These<br />
were, by far, the best takoyaki I’ve had<br />
in the area—hands down.<br />
We shared a second starter of<br />
seared Hokkaido scallops (found<br />
on the “Special Plates from Sushi<br />
Bar” portion of the menu) that<br />
were served over a small dollop of<br />
crab mix with garlic, cucumber,<br />
and a bit of lemon. The touch of<br />
lemon was exactly the ingredient<br />
needed to balance the dish, and<br />
with a slight hint of garlic, it<br />
immediately became one of my<br />
favorite appetizers.<br />
Next, we ordered three rolls:<br />
49er, SF Zoo, and Fog City.<br />
Our server brought us some<br />
“real” wasabi (not the typical<br />
horseradish wasabi), which was<br />
an unexpected (and pleasant!)<br />
surprise and worth remembering<br />
to ask for. All the rolls were<br />
fantastic; the fish was fresh, the<br />
flavors were incredible, and the<br />
textures were layered, making<br />
each bite a moment to stop, close<br />
your eyes, and savor.<br />
Maneki also hosts around two<br />
monthly events with music by<br />
award-winning, well-known DJs.<br />
Rumor has it they’re popular, so<br />
reservations are recommended.<br />
If you’re hungry for superior<br />
sushi in a nice setting with topnotch<br />
service and a good beer<br />
to accompany, keep Maneki top<br />
of mind.<br />

In the mood for some super Mediterranean food? You’re in luck!<br />
There’s a place in Folsom serving up memorable meals made using<br />
wholesome ingredients without any added colors, additives, or<br />
anything else that shouldn’t be in your food. Falafel Corner has<br />
a menu full of their namesake falafels (of course!), plus gyros, wraps,<br />
and more. I went with the Chicken Wrap: grilled marinated chicken in<br />
a secret combo of spices, with lettuce, tomatoes, onions, and tzatziki all<br />
snuggled inside a warm pita. I love the texture of a warm pita filled with<br />
anything. It also came with a side of fries, which always makes me happy.<br />
My husband had the Philly Wrap: gyro (lamb) with onions, mushrooms,<br />
bell peppers, and a side of crinkle-cut fries. They also serve burgers,<br />
bowls, sandwiches, salads, and pizza. Feel like getting fancy with<br />
your fries? Try the shawarma or Greek fries! Whatever you order, do<br />
yourself a favor and grab a side of hummus, pita (you can never have<br />
too much pita), and handmade Falafel. Dine in, grab it to go, or have<br />
them cater your next event. Just don’t forget the baklava for dessert!<br />

the secret ingredient that<br />
takes this burger to the<br />
next level? A generous<br />
drizzle of citrus honey dill<br />
aioli. It brings the delicate,<br />
fatty flavors of the salmon<br />
to life. Just don’t forget<br />
to order extra on the side<br />

HONEYCOMB<br />
ON OVER<br />
Honey is perfect for<br />
offsetting strong, savory<br />
flavors or citrusy notes,<br />
but sometimes you<br />
want honey for what it<br />
does best: be sweet. If<br />
you always have room<br />
for dessert, prepare to<br />
add the Honeycomb<br />

We’re Donating $10,000<br />
to Local Charities<br />
And Need Your Help!<br />
In honor of our 20th year in business, we're<br />
donating $1,000 each month—from <strong>April</strong><br />
<strong>2023</strong> to January 2024—to local charitable<br />
organizations and need YOU, our readers,<br />
to help us designate the recipients.<br />
“Giving back has been part of our business model<br />
since we started the company in 2003,” says<br />
STYLE Publisher Wendy Sipple. “STYLE has given<br />
cash, scholarships, and pages in its publications<br />
and websites to more than 1,700 businesses,<br />
artists, and charities over the past 20 years,<br />
totaling more than $1.4 million in value.”<br />
Nominate the charity of your choice by<br />
visiting stylemg.com/20years. We<br />
will keep a tally of all the nominations<br />
and announce the recipients in each<br />
issue of STYLE—along with a photo of us<br />
presenting a check to the previous month's<br />
chosen charity.<br />
