California - Northern

[GlassCat]

Eggchel-

That's what I was going to say- that describes the central VALLEY.

Being one from NORTH of eureka....I also have to laugh regularly when the San Fran and Sacramento folks say they're in northern Cali!!!!! Which is why under my name, I said I was fromWAY north coastal CALI!

ANYHOW...another BYC member from Eureka once said she's from "the TRUE northern California"...I'd have to agree. Funny thing is....there's more North than even me! Way up there an hours drive is crescent city and then another 15minutes drive to the Oregon border.

Hard for small state folks (especially easterners) to understand how large cali REALLY is! If they drove all day, they could go through several states, and we could still be in the same state ALL DAY. I've driven from the Eureka area to LA.....took ALL day (14 hours back then), and there's at least a hour more on each end!

I've lived in Eureka for years, and now live in Southern Oregon. After hearing the world refer to the SFBay Area as Northern California for decades, I've come to the conclusion that the world must think that Ukiah & everything North of that is really just unclaimed Southern Oregon.
