Yes, the ranch is in/around Hornbrook. Perfectly situated to a mass amount of remote, as far as CA goes, land. Hard to find better location for staging for off-grid.


Yes - Dave - State of Jefferson country. I know there is some association with right wing types but all my dealings do not find that prevalent. https://soj51.org If you believe what they state as their primary platform, then it is pretty much all about politics and desire for independence from the jaws of government, particularly overbearing CA regulations and under-representation of rural communities.


What I do find is a lot of illegal grows are present and many are operated by the Hmong, those displaced Cambodians who assisted the CIA and US military, and were pretty much left behind like those today that assisted in Afghanistan. The local authorities spend a fair bit of energy finding and shutting the farms down but it goes on. I know this because every single time I go to local hardware stores and see "gardeners" in the plumbing isles, hands full of all sort of fittings and such.


Encountering illegal grows is my number one concern when escaping to the massive open lands, not stumbling into some right wing radical although there must be survivalists and other such folks out there.

I mentioned Hornbrook as I remember you were moving trailers from there to Sacto?
I have bluegrass friends that live in Hornbrook.  They are in their 90's now.  Great people, Christians.  I believe I know the ranch you speak of, actually north side of Hornbrook if I remember correctly.

Don you told us you got out of there because it was freaky and you were worried about the people. I guess sign of the times.

Well, it is insurance so hopefully not needed but IF sh...t hits the fan, then heading for the ranch seems a lot more attractive than staying put in this already crazy filled lunatic town. If there are even fewer police around, the increased lawlessness is what people apparently want around here anyway.  And, yes, I am as nuts as everyone else these days. LOL


now back to bus topics.
