Alturas is a small town of 2,000, The gays are few, but not hung, cowboys and Indians, who at times still fight., jobs in the prisons. other than that, not much easy desk jobs, but hard work, like chopping wood in the freezing cold and baling hay in the horrible heat.
health care is going bankrupt. and many travel to redding and Reno to take care of their their doctors

Smart that you kept the goats. Milk goats I presume? Horses might come in handy for transportation as well as the llama for packing. I prefer Donkeys though.
