Murphys Ca

The biggest question when we arrived in this pretty village tucked among the golden foothills of the Sierra Nevada: What to do first? Sure, downtown Murphys is just two blocks long. Main Street, shaded by elms and locust trees, gives the impression of a quiet, simple town, its charm apparent in touches like trash barrels transformed into mini flower gardens.
