Stuff like this dosen't help.
I just saw on the morning news, a guy that runs a gas station some place in the wilderness of California is charging $5.40 for a gallon of gas I can't remember the name of the town but they said the whole town is powered by generator and the profits from the gas go to run the generator. Thats the kind of news we get about your state I guess this kinda proves you point :)

I wonder what the price of gas is snowmobiling on Tug Hill TC.
I think of the Beach Boys, scantily clad women on the beach, Summer of Love, Endless Summer, the crazies on Venice Beach. the cool cars in the parking lot at Gladstones, the nudists at La Holla, the canyons, In and Out Burger, LAX, PCH

(I don't own a plane BTW. I just have a buddy in a flying club with part interest in two, and we go fly around sometimes and split the gas.) |

Beezer, how do you know about Tug Hill Plateau ??? Did you used to live in northern NY? Gas there is probably as high as they can get away with

California is one of the more amazing places I've ever lived. I think they're missing out.[/quote:j0l6hbxr] I have two older brothers (well, had two - one passed away in 2006) and when I was little, they both lived in CA. One lived in the Bay area, the other in Orange County. Every year, my parents and I would hit the road and make a big loop to see them both. Growing up in Utah, California really seemed to be the land of milk and honey - especially SoCal. There was tons of stuff to do and lots of places to go. I was stationed at El Toro for about 18 months while in the Marines. I absolutely loved it there. I was single, had a motorcycle, and I used to crash at my brother's place in Costa Mesa. I learned to surf there, partied a lot... ::) ::) ::) You get the picture. I'd still like to live there, but for different reasons now. I think I'd like to live in the Bay area, if I could afford it. The last time I was in CA, was a trip to the Coachella Valley with my son, who had to take care of a legal matter in Indio. Lovely place - not. I think that area actually gets hotter than Phoenix, because it's below sea level. I'd like to ride to San Diego, one of these days.

Man, that place looks like the surface of the moon from Google Earth. Is there actually anything there? (Except dust?) |

Thanks for some very pretty scenery Cad, first thing I think of CA is earthquakes, then gays, then Nico and others. :-)

No it belongs to my buddy Dave. Well, 50% of it does.
Here's a better photo. It's the Bellanca Super Decathalon. Quite a fun little plane. Here's Dave with the Piper Cherokee. He also owns part interest in this one. I fly with him all over & split the gas. I do not have a license myself. My eyesight isn't good enough that I'd ever trust myself to solo, so I only get to co-pilot and navigate. |
