Thank you for the info. Good intuition - I had been looking in that area, only a little further down the hill. I am trying to stay around 1,000 feet, to avoid a lot of snow. I am not to the point of visiting sites, except through G Earth, since I want to get used to what I have, so far, and choose carefully.
There was a great property right next to Lake Berryessa, but after investigating, they have major water sourcing and runoff problems, leading to crazy water bills ~$800/mo. I like the Aromas area, too, but friends there say there is more and more fracking going on, down there, and well water contamination would not be an option.
