Default Most "hillybilly" place in California?

What areas would you consider that to be. I'm just curious.

Young LA hipsters would say "anywhere else but LA" and most especially the entire northern 3/4 part of the state. I'd vote for Sawyer's Bar and anywhere like it along the Klamath River.

San Joaquin Vally has a few secluded areas that are like that. There's also some up in the Mountains.

Oroville. Hick and a "meth lab" at the same time.

There are similar towns in the North State. They would be a shock to the system for most Southern Californians. The North State, and its residents, are quite a bit different than urban California residents, almost as if it really were another state.

I'd second Oroville. I was tempted to say Bakersfield or Redding,but rednecks seem to have a bit more common sense. Oroville seems to have attracted the real deal. You know, the type guys who play cards over whiskey in old shacks and one guy gets liquored up good shoots his best buddy for cheating. Happened there a few years back.

The hispanics have their hillbilly elements too. Guys drinking and knifing each other in the labor camps. Those places would be in the smaller towns out in the San Joaquin valley. Though a lot of those areas have been overrun with gangs, which are kind of different.

Angel's Camp, Murphy, Cobb, Middletown, are the first places I can think of.
