I do, Ken. I live about 5 hours north of San Francisco, which they call "northern California", up in the mountains between Redding and Eureka.
The map on this page kind of gives you an idea of how large the state is and where Weaverville is located in comparison to the rest of the state.

The climate, soil, water and everything is very different from southern California, but the drought has hit the whole state. Trinity County is considered a county-of-origin for water further south. If we don't have a decent snow pack, there's no water to send south.
