I'm always interested when I see a Post that says ....... "Nor Cal or Northern California" but in MY BOOK, it's nowhere NEAR Northern California. I consider Northern California, in the Napa Valley (or above), and/or North of Marin County. In the Central Valley I'd say Williams or North of. Not picking on anyone here, it's just that I saw the Subject Post, and I find it amuzing to see that people say Northern and they're in Livermore, Pleasenton, Alameda. Just an observation.

Re: Fresh Meat Nor Cal - 69 Short Bed Fleet
Northern California
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Northern California is the northern portion of the U.S. state of California. The region contains the San Francisco Bay Area, the cities of San Jose and San Francisco (the 3rd and 4th largest cities in the state), Sacramento (the state capital), Oakland, as well as the redwood forests, the northern California coast, the Big Sur coastline area, the Sierra Nevada including Yosemite Valley and Lake Tahoe, Mount Shasta (the second-highest peak in the Cascade Range), and the Central Valley, one of the world's most productive agricultural regions. Well .. now we know. |

NOTHING was stated in my Post about any Part of the State being Superior to another part. It was just MY point of View. I don't want this Post to degrade any further than it already has. When I hear "Northern California", I think of: Napa County Sonoma County Lake County Mendicino County Colusa County and all counties North of them. When I hear about a Northern California Get Together, I get excited, but when I see that I have to Drive Through ANY part of (what I call ), the Bay Area, I'll pass. Now before you jump on this, It is TOTALLY MY Opinion. I'm thinking it stems from my 1st "Hell Hole" (err...I mean Marriage). I was living in Alameda, and it was a NASTY relationship with my Ex AND the Area. I'm POSITIVE that, is why I feel the way I do. No disrespect to ANYONE on these Forums no matter WHERE you live! The Folks here have been helping me since 2005 and I am VERY appreciative of that. Thanks EVERYONE for all you do for me and others!!!

No disrespect taken it is all in good taste. I enjoy the chance to talk with you all, no matter what your opinion. I get the sarcasm from my last marriage.

Re: Fresh Meat Nor Cal - 69 Short Bed Fleet
Welcome from Southeast Missouri.
Nice vehicles. We lived in Vallejo for a very long time until the government closed the shipyard there. We enjoyed traveling all over the state, but enjoyed the Sierras most northwest of Reno, a little lake called Frenchman's. I have found "Truckin" is great no matter where you live, but I do now like the more simple life of living in the country since I am getting to be an old guy. We do however return to the San Franscisco Bay area now and then to visit family and friends. Have fun with your projects and keep the pictures coming. Danny
