I live in a town about 45 minutes NE of Sacramento. Pretty much right in the center of California. I can take off in any direction and end up in a beautiful place. There are amazing lakes in our area, then during winter snow skiing is only 45min to 60min. There are times during the year when you could go snow skiing one day and water skiing the next. Or go snow skiing and then the beach the next day. Lot's to do here and I'm definitely going to take advantage of the good days I have and go visit everything I am able to.
Just curious because of having a cousin there - where does this put you in relation to Yuba City?
