My dad had the idea of an adventure he could take me and my step mom on this past Sunday.  We were all for it and hopped in the car with him.  They have a second property out in a very small town where they will retire some day.  It’s nestled in a handful of very small, quaint towns.  One of them is Mokelumne Hill, better known as Moke Hill.  My dad had seen an episode of Hotel Impossible that featured a remodel of the only hotel in the town so he wanted to go see it and have lunch there.  I’d have to say it was one of the best burgers I have EVER had!  After lunch, we grabbed some ice cream and ventured the small street while I snapped some photos.  If you’re looking for a fun drive/day trip, this is the place.

This day trip made for a great drive and time spent together.  Mokelumne Hill is a small hidden gem tucked away in the foothills.  Check it out if you are ever nearby!
