North California Locations

[boogiedowndonovan]

What Snake eyes said,

lots of lumber up in the northern part of california. Also, marijauana growers in that area.

There is also the Sierra Military Depot on the north east end of the state. If I recall, they dispose of chemical weapons?

I wasn't aware of an active nuclear power plant up in that part of the state. There was the Humboldt Bay nuclear power plant, but that was closed in the 70's I beleive.

There's a geothermal plant a little south of the area you're describing called Geysers Geothermal plant.

also up that aways is Mt. Shasta, a dormant volcano.

not that I want to sound like a shill, but you can also check out this order of battle:

sadly any ORBATs would be totaly useless in HQs campaign since we are now after WW5 -

Basically nothing grows
Fishing is just a new way of getting cancer (from eating fish)

And it's basically anarchy all over.

Law's been working on a writeup of the Pacific Northwest and California. I'm not sure if he'll get it done prior to his departure. He's from up that way, so it will be well worth reading!

Pelican Bay does have the MAX yard but there aren't as many bad-bad-bad-bad guys there as you may think. PB is a level I/IV facility meaning tehre are alot of prisoners that aren't "as bad" as the other facilities (I forget if Level I was the lowest or Level IV was the lowest). The worst of the worst maybe there but the bad-bad-bad guys are mostly in San Quentin (like Richard Ramirez (Night Stalker), Charles Manson, and, LOL, Scott Peterson) - those guys are MAX yard where, if lucky, they get out for one hour a day AND THEN with 2-3 guys in the yard with them. Pelican Bay has a lot of top tier gang members who, I GUA-RAN-TEE, would be off'ed by the C.O.s as soon as they get a chance. They are too much of a risk to let out to society.

I would be more concerned with the pot growers in Humbolt County then the population of PB. though i can totally see the growers "hiring" the PB escapees as security for their facilities.

Th Ukia (sp) area has low rolling hills with some dense forrest and such. I've been turkey hunting up there and both Snake, Matt, and Boogie are right not much in the way of industry up there.
