6. ex-cons - could be because it's near |
|
Susanville/Lassen Co., home of a state penitentiary.
Yreka is also surrounded by national parks and wildlife reserves. It's probably a beautiful place to live.

5. I had a dear friend in college who was from Yreka. |
|
She was beyond cool. Fabulous musician and champion water skier.
She's the only experience I have w/ the place.
Good luck!

nothing else. Yreka, Richland? Are the opportunities you are finding in these places involving 'gatekeeping' and 'Hell'?

13. It's a BEAUTIFUL area |
|
It's sort of a transition between coniferous forest and high desert. It gets very cold there in the winter (by California standards).
The people are mostly freeps and new agers, but there are some cool people in the area too (well, the new agers are cool, but some are VERY odd). There are also some pretty cool towns nearby that you could live in and commute to Yreka proper from, and LOTS of opportunity for outdoor adventures, such as backpacking, skiing, rockhunting, birding, botanizing, etc. The hunting is OFF THE HOOK if you're into that (but so is the birding, for the same reasons). There's probably not much culture there (other than new age culture). It's not too far from Redding, Klamath Falls, and Ashland. I'd guess it's 4.5 hours from Sacramento and 6 hours from San Francisco, and maybe 3 hours from the coast? But it's really close to Mt. Shasta, the Trinities, the Klamath Basin, and other PHENOMENAL outdoor areas.
I'd check it out!
It might be the perfect place!
