The Buzz

I just returned from a wonderful trip to Cabo San Lucas. But, coming home to Auburn was just as wonderful! I live in what I believe to be one of the best places on earth. I live where I used to travel to before moving here 20 years ago. And to this day, this is still one of my favorite travel destinations. But, only now it's in my own backyard!

Although there are a few things I don't like about living here (rattlesnakes, cougars, ticks, mosquitoes, wildfire danger), there is no place that's perfect! But, in my opinion, Auburn is about as close to perfect as you can get. Read on for 10 things I like best about living here. 

1. The weather. It's above the fog and below the snow. Yes, we have an occasional welcomed snowfall or foggy day. And some days it's too cold or too hot. But, overall I think it's great!
2. The people. I find the people here to be very friendly. I've never lived in a place where it was so easy to make friends.
3. It's a "dog friendly" town. On a recent hike, there were about as many dogs on the trail as there were people.
4. There are so many things to do. Some of my favorites are hiking, running, kayaking, canoeing and relaxing by the river.
5. You can live in the country, but still be close to civilization.
6. It's small and beautiful!
7. There is an abundance of wildlife - the good kind! As I write, 2 deer are grazing in my front yard.
8. It's within close proximity to the Lake Tahoe area as well as the San Francisco Bay area.
9. The history.
10. Photographic opportunities. Visit our Auburn gallery  to see photos of Auburn. These photos are available as fine art prints, or as high-resolution, rights-managed downloads. To find out what's new at sherrimeyer.com, visit our blog at www.sherrimeyer.com/Blog.
