It's not Burney, is it? I'd say Burney Falls, but I'm not sure that's an actual town.

The people are the Martis who occupied present day Nevada County, which was home to the first long distance telephone lines in the US. While Martis art is distributed across the Sierras, French Lake is home to both petroglyphs (older than the pyramids) and a telephone site.

YEs, but I need the name of the city in which the most western artifacts of these people were found

Oroville is the city furthest to the West where Martis artifacts have been found.
The artifacts were first discovered in Truckee.
Do you mean the city with the most artifacts or the city with artifacts located furthest west?

Is it an existing town? Johnson Park or Cassel? I'm running out of ideas...

Nice! I didn't think about the town it was filmed in, other than the part that was filmed at the bridge near Fall River Mills. Then I kept focusing on the fictitious town, Castle Rock, that the story was set in. The only Castle Rock I could find was near Santa Cruz.

Question #39
Here is a story of a lady; a very fast lady who met a tragic end.
After no longer being useful as an opium smuggler, she took up work as a trader in the California Gold Rush. As she arrived to California, however, ready to trade and sell her wares, which included a complete pre-fab house, she died in a coastal haze in the Pacific Ocean. Pomo Indians found some of her lost wares and used them to make beads and arrowheads.
Who is she? The answer is only her first name.

Question #40
There are three Cold-War Era Nuclear Missile Silos buried underneath Northern California in close proximity to Beale Air Force Base. I have known people who have gone into these abandoned underground lairs and managed to escape with limited injurues. Dangerous place to play; asbestos, chemicals, deep water, jagged metal, and long drops down silos... There is one in a city in the north, one just west of Beale in the smallest mountain range in the world, and one in a city south of Beale.
The answer is the names of these three places from North to South.

Question #41
So you've got an underground lair, now what are you going to do with it? Some felt it was a good place to house sheep; others made an underground ice-skating rink; and during prohibition, well, you can guess what happened then. Or, when running from the military, you and your tribe could hide away and fight a war for almost half a year. Of course, when you opt to have your tribe shoot and kill the group of Army and government people trying to make peace with you, your fate quickly becomes sealed. Your tribe is all put in prison and you, and your other leaders are tried and executed.
Where is this place?

Here is a google map of the Chico site:

Here is a google map of the Sutter Buttes Site:

And here is the Lincoln site:
http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&sou...37,-121.265159&spn=0.004276,0.006974&t=h&z=17
Notice the three larger clustered hatches on one end (they are rectangles) and the antenna towers on the other end of the site (One large circle between two small circles).

The Lincoln link is actually the Sutter Buttes link. I thought they looked remarkably similar!
