I have the opportunity of living in a super area. From Sonora Pass to the east to the reservoirs of Melones, Don Pedro, McClure, and Tulloch to the west, I get to live right in the middle.

We are a diversified county. In the higher elevations we have resort areas of Kennedy Meadows, Dardanelles, Strawberry, Pinecrest, and Cold Springs. We also have the Dodge Ridge Ski Resort. Moving down the hill and a bit out of the snow we have the hamlets of Long Barn, Sierra Village, MiWuk Village, Sugar Pine, and Cedar Ridge.
And then Twain Harte. Everyone knows Twain Harte with its arches, golf course, and shops. Don't forget the great restaurants.

Down the Twain Harte grade we arrive at Soulsbyville then Sonora and Columbia. Little bit of history in these places.
We have ranches that have been in the same family for decades and some have been broken up to create new ranchettes for people looking for small acreages for animals and such. We have old homes and historic homes in Sonora and we have estates in Apple Valley, Curtis Creek, Springfield, Lambert Lakes, and Christian Heights.
We have areas just for our elderly or should I say our mentors.

Our county boasts some of the best doctors in the country and our schools, well I just love our schools and the dedicated teachers that make these schools great. Some of our kids come back here to teach. I think that in itself is a testimony to our county way of life.

Shopping. Everything you need is here. If you can't find it, Modesto is less than an hour from Sonora. Airports such as SFO, Oakland, Sacramento, and Reno are within three hours driving time from here. Lake Tahoe is only three hours from here. But why go to Lake Tahoe when we have our own casino! Black Oak Casino is located in Tuolumne City. This casino has given so much to this area I don't know where to start.Future projects include a hotel, shopping center, golf course, and homes to name a few. This little historic community will be another Calistoga or Murphys. Tuolumne County. It's kinda small so you better get some quick.
