In this region of the foothills, there are wineries everywhere. The big vineyard (7000 acres) in this region is Ironstone Vineyards ⋆ Murphys' Premier Wine Tasting Destination
Their claim to some minor fame is they have the largest crystalline gold nugget. It weighs 44 lbs & was discovered nearby (in Jamestown) in 1992. Still lots of gold in them thar hills.

Kept waiting for Dogtown Rd to turn to gravel, that's happened to me before wandering around the foothills. Suddenly the pavement ends and it's 10 miles of gravel on the Busa. But this road stayed paved.
Goaty, but still paved. Did not see one other person.

Mountain Ranch Rd is a delightful road, fast, perfect pavement, no people, and climbing up to Railroad Flat
This region burned in the 2015 Butte Fire, growing back quickly. The fire started outside Jackson and spread southeast towards Highway 4 reaching almost to Railroad Flat. Regions around Mountain Ranch were especially hard hit. At 70,000 acres burned, this fire was considered small by the recent fires we've had in Northern California.

That tiny peak in the distance is Mokelumne Hill, for which this region is named. It's all private land ,but I've ridden up there anyway years ago. This time I really was on somebodies driveway. View from the top:
Ignoring all the 'private road' signs
