− | + | A small timber and copper mining town established in 1887 where the redwood forests meet the fertile plains of the central valley. The town could have easily withered and died had the railroad not decided to build a station there. Today the primary industries of Chaon include timber, copper mining, shipping and agriculture. It is a moderate sized town surrounded by large areas of unincorporated county land. It is about 50 miles from Oakland and Sacramento and 35 miles from Stockton and Lodi. The town retains much of its 1950s feel and look to it and most businesses are still mom and pop owned since the powers that be (both governmental and outlaw) have worked to keep franchises and chain stores out. | |

The MC has a symbiotic relationship with several members of the county sheriff which is rife with corruption. The MC has something of a grudging truce with local police who have to admit that the club does at least as good of a job keeping meth-dealing Aryans from Lodi and heroin-dealing gangs from the bay area from making inroads into the town of Chaon itself. The Chaos Riders like to say “nothing happens in Chaon that we don’t control or get a piece of.” |
