CA – are there any good cities in North Cali? Like North of the extended bay area up to the state line? Not small farmer towns and preferably on the western side. Some place NOT like Chico.
If you want to be NORTH of the Bay Area, I can only recommend cities like Sacramento, Elk Grove, Folsom, Fairfield...etc. etc. Passing Sac though would just put you in some podunk town with nothing to do.
