Take a drive out to Oak Run from Redding and you will see beautiful country. As you are leaving Redding you will see old ranches and newer ranchettes all along oak studded acres. Rolling golden hills with those very old oak trees is a California standard and I always enjoy them during anytime of year. There is is this deep connection in California with the Oak Tree. Scrub Oaks, Live Oaks and Black Oaks are easy to spot on your trip to Oak Run. Obviously, some very smart person named the road and small town of Oak Run appropriately.
Oak Run is a wonderful place to visit. It is a close community of people and a cute and quaint little town. Most people have solar for power and generator for backup. I can't swear on it, but I would guess most people don't have email. I rather think that is a nice idea. Life would be so much simpler without email.
Take a drive one day soon and enjoy fall colors changing. Black oaks turn all sorts of pretty colors and then loose their leaves. I use to have 27 oak trees on my property some years ago and I was afforded the pleasure of watching all my oaks in their changing seasons. I loved each and every one of those trees!
