WHY DO WE LIVE HERE? – PART TWO … OR, SHAKESPEARE (SORTA) IN SISKIYOU COUNTY

The MAD Players Come Through Again

I like to write stories featuring Siskiyou County; and the county is a great setting for my novels.  Having lived here for more than fifty years, I think I’ve finally made it past the “flatlander” stage, and actually know a little of what I’m writing about.  Despite the ever-increasing challenges to our rural way of life, I wouldn’t voluntarily live anywhere else, and I feel sorry for those poor souls in the Bay Area and LA who spend hours of their daily lives fighting traffic and breathing smog.

What’s so great about this place?  Well, there’s the obvious: the breathtaking physical beauty of our countryside.  We have some of everything, from 14,179-foot Mount Shasta, to the high desert volcanic caves of the Lava Beds, to Castle Crags, the Marble Mountain Wilderness, the Ski Park, lakes, rivers, mountains galore, etc, etc, etc. etc.
