WOW! spot on.
I live in one of those former logging towns. Now we are going to be a tourist destination. Redding, ever hear of it?
Yup, but I consider it more of a major town and hub of commerce in those parts, plus you've already been a growing retirement community for over twenty years now.

Hear of the mill fire in Weaverville earlier this year?

They're really hurting up there, but hopefully they get it reopened soon this coming year.
You could always do what everyone else is starting doing up there these days, find yourself some nice irrigated prime agriculture real-estate tucked away remotely in the forest on some mountain side and start supplying the state's booming "pharmaceutical" industry.
