Afriscot Posted May 22, 2018 Report Share Posted May 22, 2018 After spending time in California taking my wife fishing, for the third straight year, we have decided to move here part time. We have fished Clear lake and Berryessa and need to be close to there,yet close to good gold. My first thought was Auburn, Ca. As that’s close to the gold fields. It needs to be north where there is oak trees and grass. My question for those in the know is where is a good place to live? hard to beat Arizona in the winter but it gets too hot.

Rod Posted May 22, 2018 Report Share Posted May 22, 2018 (edited) My family lives in Santa Rosa, about two and a half hours south west of Auburn. Beautiful country, not too far from the gold fields and very close to the ocean. Santa Rosa is kind of in the middle between Clear Lake and Berryessa if memory serves correct.

Afriscot Posted May 22, 2018 Author Report Share Posted May 22, 2018 Thanks Rod, you are right about Santa Rosa as it’s beautiful. I like Napa but haven’t won the lottery yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uncle Ron Posted May 22, 2018 Report Share Posted May 22, 2018 Napa, wine country, etc., is NOT Northern CA ... Go up to Siskiyou County, Scott Valley, Happy Camp and that direction...fewer folk and more gold! ... Cheers, Unc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Makes no difference to me what anyone thinks but I do find it comical how polarized of a topic this can be for some people who live out there. 10 hours ago, Afriscot said: Thanks Rod, you are right about Santa Rosa as it’s beautiful.

fredm Posted May 22, 2018 Report Share Posted May 22, 2018 Yeah, if you love driving goat-trails and switchback roads go to Happy Camp or that area...other than that it is pretty nice... oh, it gets very hot in the summer up that way... fred Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FlakMagnet Posted May 22, 2018 Report Share Posted May 22, 2018 Auburn certainly puts you on the bullseye for gold but it is also surprisingly hot in the summer and pretty crowded, the road systems have not kept up with the growth. I look forward to hearing of your decision. Best of luck with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
