For all the CA hams out there, check out the C.A.R.L.A. link repeater network. It covers from Shasta/Tahoe down the Salinas/Monterey, and east out to Interstate 5. I've come to love this network, as I feel I always have coverage and communication up and down much of the state.
The one caviat that might affect you is that the network is all on 70cm/440MHz. You'll need a dual-bander or a cheap dedicated 440 HT to use it.
