A Sunday drive confirmed today that the Gold Country is just starting.
Apple Hill, Pleasant Valley, Newtown Road (Placerville) and Mormon Island Wetland (Folsom) are showing hints of gold, but not enough to push any of these areas to Patchy.
Pleasant Valley and Apple Hill showed the most color with wild cucumber in patchy change from green to chartreuse and vineyards beginning to turn.
A cresting of yellow atop cottonwood at Mormon Island Wetlands in Folsom expands each week, though is still just starting.
