How many CA counties can you name?

[Throd]

I can't for the life of me remember the last two and it's driving me nuts.

[Journeyman]

1. Penultimate and Final . . .

[Throd]

2. I wish I had thought of that reply in high school.

[Journeyman]

3. Unfortunately, that seems where my humor is stuck these days. . .

sorry I can't help, short of giving you a link to a list of counties: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_counties_in_California

7. I think I'll torture myself a bit more before I refer to a map.

[bemildred]

8. Enjoy, I was just trying to help, not interfere with anything.

I mean I do understand how it is when you got the bit in your teeth on a problem.

[tularetom]

5. Tell me which two and I'll name 'em for ya

:evilgrin:

[Throd]

6. I do have Tulare County on my list.

[Throd]

9. Ah, I just thought of Penultimate County, one more to go!

[XemaSab]

10. I can name all of them

and Tulare and Tuolumne are the two you are thinking of.

Either those or Amador and Calaveras. :D

[Throd]

11. No, I got those on the list

I live in El Dorado, so I have all the surrounding counties accounted for. It is probably one either up in the very north or one of those bay area counties.

Is there a Sonora County?

[bemildred]

12. Del Norte?

Siskiyou?
Modoc?
Trinity?
San Benito?

[Throd]

13. No, got all those. It is probably an obvious one I'm just overlooking.

I got Alpine too.

[bemildred]

14. Well, I'm not posting another link, I learned my lesson.

:-)

[Throd]

16. I'll probably end up using your link.

[XemaSab]

15. No Sonora

There's a Sonoma...

You got Del Norte? San Benito?

[Throd]

17. Yeah, Inyo too

[cui bono]

18. Not many...

Los Angeles
Orange
Riverside
Ventura
Santa Barbara
San Diego
Santa Cruz ? (is that a county?)
Mendocino

Can you tell where I live, where I went to school and what my hobby used to be? ;)

[mackerel]

19. Do you have Glenn on your list. A lot of people forget that one.

[Throd]

20. PLUMAS! That was the final one. My apologies to the Plumerians.

Okay, now to memorize all county seats. Let's see, Placerville...Santa Ana...

[mackerel]

21. My brother lives in Plumas County.

Lovely little towns up there. Lassen Volcanic Forest and a lot of great camping sites.

[Throd]

22. I think I will visit that area in the fall.

I have never been to the northeast corner of the state. I'm sure it is beautiful. In an effort to reconnect with my inner Huell Howser, I plan on visiting every county.

[XemaSab]

23. You totally should visit every county

My suggestion is to go up into the Sierra Valley via Downeyville, backtrack through the Lakes Basin up towards Quincy, hit Almanor, drive through the park, cut off towards Alturas, head from Alturas over to Tulelake, and then over to Weed and down the 5.

It's really stunning up there. :)
