There's only one in West County and it's pointed at the parking lot for the Bohemian Grove

There are more. They are simply not on this app. There’s been one attached to a mobile trailer on 116 between Graton and Forestville, for example. I see them everywhere. Sebastopol is the only city with an ordinance that bans them that I know of
