California Valley? I am wondering? what those towns are like. Who lives there? What do they do? It seems so remote, with no gas stations or hotels or even stores! Apparently there is a library in the town of California Valley, only open on Wednesdays, and a community center where groceries are dropped off and a small school with only a handful of students. What is going on here? Can anyone tell me about these towns? California Valley has 500 residents and the web site says the town of Simmler is even smaller. Any info on these bizarre places would be great
