Trinity Alps Fren?? Weaverville my second home, started going up there as a 4yo in ‘68. Sad about Weaverville becoming a pot and meth head town when it used to be a true old western town. Stuart’s Fork trailhead up to Emerald lake and beyond, God’s country!
You know it better than I do. It is sad to hear it's gone to pot. It's always been a pet peeve of mine hearing Americans abroad who seem to denigrate or more commonly just ignore all the wonders of America. I mean, other places are wonderful and should be celebrated, but I love being surprised by the beauty of the Ozarks, the Smokies, the Southwest deserts, buttes and hidden valleys, and the great woods of the Northwest, from Big Sur to Seattle. Every place I go has its own marvels. I never get tired of coastal redwoods or the enormous sequoias, and yet I've met plenty of people that get poetic about foreign countries who barely know their own.
When was "the fall?" I lived in the Santa Cruz area back in the 90s, and enjoyed the area around San Francisco a lot. Is it just homeless camps and fast food strip malls all the way from the piers out to Tracy?
What are you talking about? SF may be a cesspool but all of those other places mentioned are still incredible to visit. One of my best vacations ever driving 1,520 miles in 15 days touring all of Northern California.
Did you get to see the Sequoias? Yosemite? The Trinity Alps? Poppies blooming in the desert? Bet they didn't.

I grew up on the peninsula- it was the most beautiful place in the world. It’s heartbreaking to see what’s happened in the last 10 years.
