Hmm if you want twisties... You gotta go to Mosquito Ridge... by the time you are done with it, you won't want to turn anymore....
Take Interstate 80 towards auburn... get off at Highway 49.... turn right at the stop light, then follow the highway 49 signs... should lead you through downtown auburn, then you will hit a decent patch of twisties....
Highway 49 then veers right over the this bridge(90 degree turn)... GO STRAIGHT towards Forest Hill!! Then you will go over a bridge where the turn is to the right but it's a gradual turn not drastic... Then follow that around until you get to a stop sign.... Turn right at the stop sign towards forest hill...
Follow that road for maybe 20 miles? until you start getting into what looks like a city, you will see a valero on your right eventually, then the next road passed that Valero is Mosquito Ridge.... Have fun... Careful though, after you go through a decent amount of the road you might start hitting some snow

I suggest just driving down 49 south on some of the roads down there if you are in Eldorado hills, I dont know the exact roads but there are a few.
The best way to find california roads to drive on USED to be here:
http://www.pashnit.com/motoroads.htm
But it requires a subscription fee as of a few months ago
But you can still read the name of some of the roads if you want to cross reference them with some maping software.

Fun drive+dessert guys!
I tried snapping a few pics at the beginning but left the camera in the car and am too lazy to go get it right now, I'll post any that came out okay tomorrow.
BTW, about 1 min west on 80 is a Marie Callender's, they have some decent desserts if you guys wanna try something different next time.
