The State of Jefferson

From Redding, California, Scott Valley California, the traditional towns of the western Cascades(Shingletown, Igo, etc) to the Rogue Valley, the Illinois Valley, Klamath County and through the Cascades in southern Oregon have many climates. Along Cascades Mountains lies the State of Jefferson. At one time, the people from this area wanted to break away and form their own state. It never happened, but the folks from this area still have different needs and ways of looking at things then up in Portland or down in San Francisco. People here are ranchers, farmers, lumberjacks, forest rangers and environmentalists as well as every other type of job you might find in a big city. We also have several local tribes with their proud traditions. Here are some views of our area.

Excellent images from a place in the world which is not yet
fully discovered. I live here, and have many great shots over almost 20 years of
driving around the valley, but you have some awesome photos that display what this place
is really like.
Thanks!

Love your images! I'll have to get out your way more often. Most of my adventures take place in Williams and Grants Pass.
