Yup, French Gulch CA. I lived there when I was a kid in the mid-70s. When I lived there is was technically an old abandoned mining town...I suspect it might have gotten a bit bigger since when I lived there. Also, it wasn't that ethnically diverse back then either.
A bunch of hippies decided that would be a great place to go be one with nature...and I was with them while my mom was in Japan. There were sort of redneck types who weren't all that happy with the hippy invasion...but we avoided them. I wonder if there are still old hippies up there with sweat lodges or if they've all left. My godparents (the said hippies in question) ended up moving to Grass Valley.
