Hay guys!! Were a unique state. Some of the highest mountains and the lowest areas like Deatjh Valley. But for practical reasons the state is actually divided into four (4) areas. The mountains that cut across from Santa Barbara east above L.A. separate them as Southern /Calif. the next is classified as the Central Valley. since it all is so fertile and has so much heat and most of the time plenty of water. It runs from Bakersfield up thru Fresno, Sacramento to Redding. Covers a large area. Then there are us hibernating Northern Calif., bunch where we have mild summers and cold winters and that is from the Coast inland over the coastal range (which gets snow in the winter) A section called the Lost coast is northern Calif. for 150 miles from Oregon border down to Garberville in the mountains and Redwoods. That's about it and all are different for topical landscape and temperatures. NormD

Welcome!

*plays around with Google Maps* Aw, man, that's still over 3 hours away! Darn living hours from everywhere, anyhow...

I know that area. I like Yreka, even though they put that stupid A&W where the neat old building used to be.

Hi Rosegarden459,
I'm about 1.5 hours north of the border from you. I grew up in northern border towns, Dad worked the inspection stations. I started school in Hornbrook and graduated from Dunsmuir.

Welcome to you both!

It's good to have you posting here. We'd love to see pictures of your chickens, ducks, turkeys, etc.

For me, Nor Cal is more a state of mind.

Kim - are you showing at the PPBA show this year?

I wanted to tell you that I actually sent in my entry, last Sat. So, I guess I'm showing for sure. I'm kind of terrified, since my birds are no where near as good as they should be for this level of show. I'm trying to look at it as a learning experience. At least the breeds will be there for the public to see.

Don't worry about it...you will do better than you think you will. I'm loading for the Hollister show right now and nothing looks decent.....that's the way they look right before a show....lol
