We arrived here in Nevada City in early afternoon on Monday. We're staying at the Nevada City Elk's Lodge. This is a lovely facility built specifically for them in 1996. The lodge itself is 111 years old, and they had used a downtown building for years before they had this built.The facility is nicely designed to serve a variety of purposes, and they clearly have an active membership judging by the number in attendance and the well maintained grounds. When they obtained the property there was an area that had been identified as a Native American ceremonial site, so they they have very effectively incorporated that into their landscaping.
The lounge and restaurant opened up at 4 o'clock so we joined the crew for a beverage, a tour of the facility, and dinner later in the evening. What a nice bunch of folks! That's the advantage of staying at a lodge, you get to meet a lot of local people and learn about the community.
We'll be here for only two nights, then move east to visit friends in Nevada.
