AAA puts out a magazine every 2 months called Via - AAA Traveler’s Companion. The September/October 2008 issue features Yreka as a weekend destination and describes it as a “scenic slice of Northern California”. Nice, huh? You can pick up a copy of Via at your local AAA office, that is, if your local AAA office is in Washington, Oregon or Idaho.
I’m excited that Yreka got a nice plug! Some of the local attractions mentioned in this short little ditty by Via writer, Peter Faret are the Village Grind, Silver Spoon, Lalos (in the photo), James Place Antiques, Natalee Thai, Best Western, Klamath Motor Lodge, Yreka Third Street Inn, the gold display in the Courthouse and the Heritage Home Tour.
All are worthy mentions although so many were overlooked, but beggers can’t be choosers, eh? And besides, that’s what we have siskiyoutopia for! Siskiyoutopia will have 229 posts published about our fair little county once I hit the ‘publish button’ on this one, and we’ve barely scratched the surface!
