It's 2010. We're parked off street in a shaded lot, and we're wandering along shaded sidewalks while shopping for local arts and crafts, and interesting antiques in a quaint, comfortable downtown setting.

We rest a moment on a nearby bench, munching on delicious treats available from North Fork bakeries and restaurants.

Afterward we head back to our charming Bed and Breakfast and wish we lived in this delightful community with its developed mill site, recreational vehicle park, mini parks, community service facilities, family wage jobs, medical and educational facilities.

North Fork's community development and community pride have resulted in All America City status.

All is well and beautiful in North Fork, California.
