Single near Sacramento

Seems I've been looking in all the wrong places. Where does a 47 year old man who is interested in off-grid living, sustainability, solar, vanlife and homesteading find or meet singles in Northern CA. So far I've only met the polar opposite. How depressing right? I just moved here from KS and I'm currently doing the vanlife thing while I save for land out here to build my tiny happy place!

Taken . 😘

Hey there Ron, You came are close to where I consider to be one of the best homesteading locales on the west coast. After moving back to the mainland from Big Island I researched and scouted many choice places to relocate to and build a new permaculture homestead. One of the places I found just after buying my current property on the southern Oregon coast in Port Orford is located north of Sac. in the Trinity Mountains. That is southwest of the I5 Redding on a country road that leads to Cecilville, CA. The road getting there is precarious and probably already closed for the winter. However, you could plan on a visit. in the spring to check it out. Salmon Creek Saloon will get you started and answer all your questions. From there you can venture toward Humbolt county as the real estate deals in my opinion hold great value in terms of permaculture and homesteading. Much of the nortorious crime has dispersed due to the legalliization of Cannabis and the small towns and rural areas and desiring/recruiting community minded people to help rebuild.
You might head up to the southern Oregon coast with particulr regard to Curry County which includes Brookings, Gold Beach, and Prot Orford.  The forrest hikes and wild and scenic sandy beaches are idealic and offer refuge and are a hedge against social ills associated with urban development.
In any case, all the best to you where ever your journey might take you.
