Did you ever fantasize about moving to a small town in the country or the forested mountains? Well then have a look at this slice of life as recorded in the Myers Flat News for the historically important years which included 9/11/2001, the initiation of the U.S. war in Afghanistan, the end of the logging industry in Northern California, as well as human interest tales of people living that fantasy, sometimes for two or three generations. You will read about Sammy the Dog, the adventures of the Boys in the Bar, and how smoking was finally prohibited (more or less) in the one and only saloon in town — in the one and only newspaper ever published in Myers Flat, California — The Myers Flat News.
