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.
