Welcome to Northern California, and its oddest, quirkiest, and most outlandish places, personalities, events, and phenomena. With this book in hand and a smile on their face, visitors will learn where residents speak their own language, stay the night at a motel made up of cabooses, and go wild and woolly for the Big Foot Jamboree. Readers will meet an Elvis-loving cop who croons songs promoting safe driving, marvel at a light bulb burning since 1901, and learn where to compete in the International Frog Jumping Grand Finals. It does seem like Californians have more fun!
