It sure is different in Australia! There is nothing free about my dial-up
connection! I pay $11 a month for 10 hours internet time and the transfer
rate is 24000 bps, i.e. extremely slow. This is typical for all rural folk
across Australia. We reckon we're lucky to have any sort of phone
connection. Different in cities of course, but who wants to live there?!

Bernie,
The Trinity and Klamath Mts are interesting areas both
geologically and biologically , but the effects of extractive industry
(mostly timber harvest, some mining) are evident in most every
view in the high relief areas. Many of the communities are or
were recently dependent on logging (which is in decline in many
areas). Remember to watch for the trucks.
There are substantial of karst areas (not a common landscape
in California). Like the Sierra, there are some National Forest
set-asides at the highest elevations in the northern Coast
ranges (Yolla Bolly Wilderness, Trinity Alps Wilderness, Marble
Mtns. Wilderness). Minor roads are slow, winding and
sometimes unusually narrow for the U.S., so it can take longer
than expected to get to trailheads.
Hobo Gulch Campground on the North Fork of the Trinity is a=20
vehicle accessible (formerly at least) not-too-hammered entry
point into the Trinity Alps Wilderness.
