So Anyway...

True Story...
When I was in high school my friends and I decided we were going to buy an old bus and split. There was an old school bus listed in the newspaper. We were each saving up money to pitch in & buy it. We drew it out and partitioned our rooms. We had food and supplies stashed up in the rafters of my parents' garage. We had a route mapped out to LA. It was pretty exciting for us all. We worked more hours and when we finally had enough to buy the bus it had been sold. Our dreams were crushed and we were stuck living with our parents. *sigh* I was SO close to being famous! :rolf: :rolf: :rolf:
Now- I don't know that I would even want to visit Cali, except maybe some of the cool people on here.
There's some real cool poop out in Cali. I don't want to live in any coastal state, but visiting you bet.
 
So anyway, speaking of CA. We had to run an errand down the hill today but on the way back we drove up to the fire lookout station on Strawberry peak. They were now allowing visitors, just reopened it last week. We can see these towers from our home, they are about 1 mile away by way the crows fly from us. Just great views from 6200ft. You can see the mountains that are just north of San Diego, you can see Catalina island 85 miles away, you can see the high desert out to Victorville.

Our place circled in red.

Pretty much looking out right over our pad on the downhill side of the mountain...
 
I was last in CA back around 2008 and had a blast. There's a lot to do all the time. National and State parks there are spectacular, like Redwood National forest, Torrey Pines Park Yosemite national park, Catalina Island, Joshua tree National park. And there's tons more. I wouldnt live there though. Earthquakes suck and too pricey.

My thing is desert exploration and dirt bike riding into the most desolate areas...
