Butte, Plumas, Tehama areas. And maybe some of Lassen.

Just heard the Hogs back between Quincy and Laporte. 1 lane is open and icy. The gate is open.

 

Well thats what put the Oro in Oroville, they have a prospecting store in downtown last time I was up there. always wondered what might lay at the bottom of the lake.

 

Mud!
I wouldn't touch the lake because California thinks it's a crime worse than murder to dig in the lake.
I've been in that store a few thousand times. Joey the owner is very knowledgeable in most types of gold hunting. Plenty of things for all, both in that store and in Oroville. Just saddens me to see some of the rif RAF there now.

 

Now? been like that for years, they have that weed money now and buy all the nice stuff in the woods and destroy it to grow. Downtown has been on a good up turn as of when I last lived there 2008ish. South side will always be south side, my wife and I are looking to leave the bay soon and have been eyeing Chico as she likes it has a Target and Costco. Still not sure about that area as I only used to go there to shop and dine.

 

I am in Paradise now and frequent Oroville. I would move back to the foothills near Oroville I love it. Chico? Nah I'm good! I love Paradise though. I am a logger for the past 16 years and it's in the pines or timberline that I feel serine.

 

Did you go to school in Oroville Matt?

 

Haha very nice, I love paradise too. Wife wants a more "urban feel" I'm in San Francisco right not for work, get out any chance I can kind of over this place. Would love to be on the coast somewhere Fort Bragg adgasent but there are few jobs up there. Trying to cash out here.

 

No, Cupertino

 

Oh good you actually have an education. I went to Las Plumas there in Oroville and it needed better people for teachers there.

 

LOL, shit don't throw your self under the bus like that. You know how to use the internet.

 

Yeah but I'm a dumb logger now! By choice!

 

Grass is always greener on the other side. I worked in a plastic fabrication shop(hated it) became a mechanic(hated it) we to college(water of time and money) now work at a tech company (boring but pays SF rent and some taco parts).

 

I would too in the areas that are cutting up there. That whole place is my happy place

 

Shhhhh. Don't tell anyone, they think sac is the spot...

 

Hey Sam, did you see I'm trying to plan a weekend up here here? It super easy to come over from Pratville on the humbug meadows Rd.

 

Did not see but I’m down

 

It's on the nor nor Cal bs thread. Ben Lomond trail. Goes the opposite way from the high lakes area. Really cool drive!

 

LOL, everyone and their mother is leaving the bay now. Sac housing is up and it will only push up from there. the front page of the SF Chronicle today was about a house in woodland...

Finished cutting firewood already for the season, only two cords this year, all Doug Fir, the second best in the area after Oak. Had a nice half cord on the other morning, today only 1/4 cord. The springs were sad the other day. Neighbors dome in the background. The rows of wood along side the truck are from a couple trees I had taken down a few weeks ago, what a mess, one a snag 10' from my mobilehome.
