don't know of any groups in that part of the state... feather river rattlers is north and east of sacramento. Fresno is in central california about 5 hours away. Pretty cool map tool though, I will have to throw myself on it too. If I had to move there, I'd look at one of the outlying communities, Fresno itself doesn't have the greatest of reputations... That part of the state is a lot of farm country.
Welcome to California, although if I could I think I'd move out of this communist state.
