where is the best place to retire in No Cal?

[boaz]

I'm not even close to being there yet but just thinking ahead I would love to retire in No Cal somewhere out in the boonies someday where I can grow a garden in peace for my own personal use. I'm thinking Trinity might be the place, seems very secluded and is very beautiful from what I've seen. any thoughts from locals out there? well any friendly thoughts anyway?? beach front would be awesome but probably hella expensive, thats why I'm thinking Trinity.

hello. the choice is between the Mt. Shasta area, the coastal area, the eastern foothills, or nearer Sacromental and San Francisco. you have to be specific about your lifestyle, or if just good cable reception is important. do you grow food, or need groceries nearby? do you like rivers, lakes, tall trees, or plains, mountains and colder weather? or would you rather be closer to the vineyards? the cost of living is pretty expensive. is it just the weed? you could help bring that to your state.

try the bohemian grove north of san fransico.....i hear the good old boys throw wild parties out there.....but anywhere up north into the woods is a great spot.....i hope you retire there somewhere nice

thank you everyone, personally I like seclusion (I have a satellite dish ) love the outdoors, rivers, lakes, trees. I would like to grow my own food too but will probably still be coming down for some supplies. I think there is only thing to do ... road trip. :jointsmile: I've been all over Northern Cal from Mendo and Humbolt thru Trinity and Shasta, love it all!!! think I just need some more r&d. The one place I haven't been to yet is the far northern coast between Humbolt and Oregon, I've heard that is some of the most beautiful scenery of all. bohemian grove would be a trip. :stoned: don't think they'd let me in, tho.

If I were going to retire in Northern Calif. I would like to retire in or near Junction City or close to Mt. Shasta Lake. If I wanted to retire near medical services, I would not chose either! I would chose McKinleyville or Near Fernadale! pr

I was from the central valley, moved up to the foothills above Sacramento into the "Gold Country" been here about 30 yrs, I will never leave. Some great gardens up here. Came because I wanted to raise my kids somewhere a little safer, stayed for a whole lot of good reasons. One little bit of advise, try for above the fog and below the snow if you look in the foothills. Good luck. PS Try Grass Valley!
