So, just to keep on stirring up the &*%@,  I think NorCal is a quality of geographic distribution.  In my worldview, the epicenter of NorCal-ness is Fort Bragg, CA.  NorCal-ness then radiates out and diminishes from there along some type of gradient.  Bay area and south are just whiffing NorCal fumes.   :smt005  Humboldt and Del Norte are only slightly diminished. :smt003

Man, I'm in an evil humor mood..heheh

I don't know what the Southern boundary of Nor Cal is, but if living in Nor Cal is a prerequisite for NCKA then the way I see it the Colorado line is the Eastern boundary.  :smt006

I'd allow that, but only because you have the FFF Brothers in your avatar!   :smt005

I think its pretty much understood that the Bay Area is NorCal and the only reason we let you southern oregonors hang with us is the fumes.

perhaps norcal is a state of mind rather than a geographic location?  I mean a LA maggot is still a LA maggot even if he moves North.  And Eric of Fresno and Eric of Loleta have a lot in common.

Quick google search reveals a fairly accurate map.
