Northern California, near San Francisco. The 'northern' moniker confuses me a little.
I suppose most people consider anything much north-west of Los Angeles 'northern'.

Look at a map. San Francisco is more central than northern.
There's a whole lot of CA north of SF, you can drive for hours before reaching Oregon.

I once wrote to the US Geological Survey asking what they considered the boundaries between
Northern, Central and Southern California. My query never merited a response.

If they don't know, maybe I can help them decide. -Larry
