For those who don't know, Red Bluff is a fairly small city about 30 miles South of Redding In N. California, and about 90 miles North of Sacramento. Redding is about ten miles South of Lake Shasta,

I meant to add that there are hundreds, perhaps thousands of square miles of near wilderness around Red Bluff for someone to hide in. I say thousands because the nearest metro area to the East is the Northern Salt Lake City Metro area, 600 miles away. Medford in Oregon is some 200 miles north, Sacramento metro area is 90 miles south, the CA coast is, what, 100 miles west?

In all of that area there are only only a few cities of any size, and the tourists and skiers beginning this time of year far outnumber the residents.

Thanks for the info. I wish people would identify the locale on stories from places that people aren't familiar with.

I know Red Bluff and Redding... my Grandpa had a dairy farm in Cottonwood. Rural America.
