What part of North CA interests you? Coast, Sierra, Cascades, NE desert, valley?
Gravel road OK? Bladed dirt? How far off pavement are willing to drive?
Near water or prefer long view? Need cell phone coverage?
Where I am camped now I barely have cell coverage, have not seen or heard a soul since Saturday. Next to a flower filled meadow with a resident bear (so far he is keeping his distance), a pair of sandhill cranes, and a glance at a bobcat racing across the road. The usual bunnies, squirrels, and birds. A family of deer visit us at dusk, a large patch of bitterbrush and ceanothus next to us (preferred deer browse). I am two miles of gravel off a major highway. Small lake in easy walking distance, through a fringe of Pines. These places do exist, this one took a lot of driving around in our tv to find.
