A little OT, but this is one of the best areas in the country for trout fishing! I have spent many happy (and frustrating) hours flyfishing near Yreka. The Upper Sac has huge browns and rainbows, the Trinity can get monster steelhead, and Diamond Lake has great rainbows. The Shakespeare Festival in Ashland is also a DO NOT MISS. Climbing Mt. Shasta is an experience I shall never forget, highly recommended. Hours of playtime fun for all! Oh yeah, and miles of uncrowded highway to take the old Tommassini (or Colnago) out for a spin.
