More about Smith Flat here:

Smith Flat was a well known and historically important stop on the Carson Trail during the early wild West pioneer days of wagon trains and stage coaches. Near here was structure responsible for collecting a toll from the adventurous souls traveling this main Trail over the Sierras. Smith Flat marks the beginning of a steep rise to the Sierra Nevada mountains and Echo Summit which overlooks the Lake Tahoe Basin. For this reason, we call 2161 Smith Flat the Toll House.
Today Smith Flat residents are increasing surrounding hills of grape vines. The former Blue Lead mine with an opening in the Smith Flat House and a tunnel that goes all the way to the South Fork of the American River provides the year-round headwaters to Hangtown Creek which flows next to Placervile's Main Street 3 miles further down the hill. The main parking lot for the El Dorado Trail which extends up the mountain to the snow line in Camino or all the way down to Shingle Springs is located here. The Placerville Airport is on the ridge across Highway 50 off our Exit # 49..

    "Eskaton has great dog paths, it's a retirement community in Placerville and very quiet and friendly. For the most part people pick up their dog doo but occasionally you get a few bad apples. But that's anywhere I think. Overall, the community has a lot of different diverse walking paths with poop poles strategically placed. "
