There is every ecosystem on the planet in Cali. I lived there for 6 years and to go from the coast to 8000 feet in the mountains within a few hours can't be duplicated anywhere else. Which says nothing about the incomparable food in San Francisco, the best seafood anywhere! If you like to play cards, Oakland has card clubs galore, major sports teams, horse racing, you name it, Cali has it.
Here is a great reason to visit California you can see the beaches, mountains, deserts. You can drive to L.A. and get stuck in hours of horrific traffic and visit California’s “great sanctuary city”, where if you jump the border illegally and make it to “L.A”. you can stay and suck off the system.
Then you can go home and report to your local government what you have seen and tell them what not to do. We have tried that here but of course they don't listen and I believe it is way to late for the once great state, but not for the others. Spread the word on how to protect your state from over population of (what did the government call it? Oh yeah! UNDOCUMENTED DEMOCRATES) who will some how vote the wrong people into office and bankrupt the state, due to the state supporting the undocumented democrats.
Where else can you ride your dirt bike (or drive your jeep) on the beach and in the nearby dunes?
where else can you ride your bike, Jeep, quad, or buggy on the beach and nearby dunes, only to run into a stupid fence put up by the sierra club that closed 90% of the whole area.
