A visitor passing through Placerville recently expressed gratitude after experiencing an unexpected flat tire while driving from the Bay Area to Tahoe.

The traveler shared their story online, writing, "I was surprised and happy to see so many people offering to help us out (>10 people offered to help!). Special thanks to a mechanic with a friendly dog who helped a lot."

Locals were quick to offer further advice and recommendations for future visits.

One local suggested, "Take a walk down main street! There's something for almost anyone. Maybe grab a bagel and coffee at Bagel Works if you're passing through in the morning." Another added, "And Studio 360!"

The traveler, impressed by the town's welcoming atmosphere, responded, "Placerville looks like a lovely place – I'll need to plan a trip to visit next time."
