Located on the I-5 corridor midway between Redding and Sacramento, California Glenn County has a population of approximately 26,900. Bordered on the west by the Mendocino National Forest and on the east by the Sacramento River the area serves as a gateway to year round recreation opportunities including boating on two lakes and the Sacramento River; lake, river and stream fishing; camping; hiking; close proximity to wildlife sanctuaries; and hunting of big game, upland birds, and waterfowl.  There are varied sports activities for adults, children, and teenagers.  Residents can enjoy numerous civic organizations, local theater groups, choral groups, and a historical society.  Motor sport enthusiasts can enjoy SCCA sanctioned races and events at Thunderhill Raceway. The county has one golf course, which is centrally located for easy access.  Educational opportunities include an off-site junior college campus.  The successful candidate is offered an opportunity to live in an area of moderately priced housing without the crowding, traffic and air pollution impact of the more metropolitan areas.
