for all the years that I spent living in and traipsing throughout southern California, most of my knowledge drops off pretty sharply N of, say, Paso Robles or Bakersfield.
other than a few overnight trips to the Bay Area and a couple of months at Stanford, I've never spent any significant amount of time there and as a result the upper 2/3 of the state is largely unknown to me (except for going up the Sacramento river delta on the railroad or Interstate 80, I've never been more than 10 miles N of the Golden Gate; many years ago I did ride Amtrak from Oakland to Portland but the train was running behind schedule and sunrise wasn't until well after Dunsmuir, closer to Klamath Falls).
I'd always promised myself that some day I would live in that part of the world and get to know it.
as a goal it remains in the indeterminate future.
