I live in Valley Springs, California. Just a few miles from the famous
Calaveras County frog jumps made famous by Mark Twain's book. That is in
Angels Camp. Centrally located 60 miles from Sacramento, and about 80 miles from San Francisco. Above the fog and below the snow. A great place to live. No sidewalks and no street lights, but all the ammenities of the big city.
Google Calaveras County, California if I caught your attention.
