Where the heck is NorCal anyways?

So what does define Norcal anyways?  Up here in Mendo and Humboldt, we barely tolerate Marin-ites as referring to themselves as Norcals.  And anyone in the bay area and south are just a bunch of posers 

Just thought I's stir up some.......you know what.  hehe

NorCal = Humboldt   

Hmmmm. Not a real definite line but, I always feel like I'm leaving it when am getting close to Ukiah. 

Watsonville and North.

LOL. Nothing like a good strong fist to pound on yer chest hah Dave!
Big River.
Hare Creek.
Virgin Creek.
Blues.
Wages Creek.
And many others inbetween, beyond, and unspoken. 
Can't wait for this broken wing to mend! 

Quick google search reveals a fairly accurate map.

I guess I'm classified as north. The south of north.

Quick google search reveals a fairly accurate map.

By your map it looks like Sonoma,Napa,Yolo,Sacramento, and El Dorado missed the cut off.

Every time I feel like I should leave California I count about 20 counties that I'd take with me.  State of Jefferson.

Lol Dave stirring the pot.

According to Wikipedia,  Berkeley is in "Northern California"...

I did a little more research and found the map for Northern California.  According the this map, NorCal starts a little South of Point Sur close to San Antonio.

I'm not really sure how serious people are here and sarcasm and irony have a way of not traveling very well across the Internet. Northern California as a geographic concept is one of the least agreed upon terms I have ever known. I've heard people use definitions that would exclude Yuba City and others that would include Bakersfield.

I think it is funny when people get offended when someone from well south of them consider themselves northern Californian. Like stealing a badge of honor or diluting someone's street cred.

That said, when I am philosopher king, Sonoma, napa, yolo, Sacramento, and El Dorado will miss the cut. Sorry guys

I always thought anything North of Shasta was "Southern Oregon"
