Currently I'm thinking about this from Harris Cyclery
Shimano Hyperglide thread-on freewheel
11 - 13 - 15 - 18 - 21 - 24 - 34 "Megarange" "C" Type
any help is appreciated.

Zac,
One thing you have to remember is 'Will your RD be able to handle the 34T cog" If it's a short cage RD it won't handle that 34T. To be honest, you'd probably have to find a Long Cage RD to handle that 34T. You also have to take into consider what you're crank is. Is it a triple? a Double? Chainwrap capacity is important. I also live in the Bay Area and I run a 13-28 and it's a 7-speed. Just a thought.
