 Siskiyou County is one of the most remote and rugged areas of Northern California. An ancient road to Oregon winds through the heart of this land, and although centuries of visitors have explored this pristine country, very few have settled here. Although vast in size, Siskiyou County is sparsely populated, with over half its area designated as public land and national wilderness. Beginning in the remote Scott River Valley, hosts Chris Turner and Joanna Curlee take a bike tour over miles of county road and up winding mountain passes, before settling in for a yurt overnight and a hearty barbecue at a scenic overlook. Farther south, in the little railroad town of Dunsmuir, Chris and Joanna enroll in a weeklong workshop to learn how to hand-craft the prized possession of anglers everywhere: an authentic bamboo fly rod. Once completed, his gorgeous masterpiece gets a workout on the Upper Sacramento River, where the wild rainbow trout are jumping. Dunsmuir also has some great restaurant finds, including Café Maddalena, where chef Brett LaMott prepares authentic, gourmet Mediterranean cuisine from Spain, France, Italy and North Africa. For Chris and Joanna, he creates grilled duck breast with chorizo over white beans.
