The people's republic of...And I come from NY...If it wasn't for the wackiness, I'd live their too. Too many taxes, too many restrictions.

Man, that place looks like the surface of the moon from Google Earth. Is there actually anything there? (Except dust?)[/quote:o2cp5ttj] Its a beautiful valley just west (over the mountain) from Death Valley. There are a number of canyons to explore. The famed Barker Ranch is there where they arrested Charlie Manson. The place is still in tact with furniture but no one lives there. Just last week I read they're investigating the possibility of some bodies being buried on the grounds. This would be a great ride and camping trip sometime from our area. Lets go! |

6 months ago avgas was $7gal in Teterboro, NJ. I imagine it's over $8 by now.But, that is their way of discouraging those types of aircraft from using the airport.

I've had the opportunity to spend a good bit of time in Ca over the past 30 years.Some parts are a lot nicer than others for sure.On the other hand, every big city in this country has basically the same problems. High taxes, high crime rates, and horrible traffic. Calfornia does not have a monopoly on those things.
One of these days I hope to ride out there. I want to have lots of time to enjoy myself. I have flown into L A, San Fran, San Diego, and many other places as a crew member on corporate aircraft. The last 50 miles is incredible. I have always been amazed that a state with so many people can have so much area with no roads, no houses, nothing except beautiful scenery as far as one can see. No where else can one go from urban to suburban, beaches to mountains, desert to lush valleys in such short distances.It's an incredible place for sure. |

The whole state is one big sandy beach, and all the girls are blond, tanned, have blue eyes, and wear bikinis all the time. (Although I was hoping there'd be a few redheads sprinkled in)
That was my perception when I moved here 21 years ago. It's a great state to ride in!

What I think of
Left coast - Wacko's San Fran to San Diego. Fresh Fruit to die for. Was there over Christmas a few years ago and stopped at a road side stand. Could have lived on the fruit because we sure don't get that here unless we grow it. Distance in time. Everytime I asked someone how far to here they would say 20 minutes or 30 minutes. I would ask, how about distance. "I don't know". Parts of California are beautiful. Some parts could fall off tomorrow and I wouldn't miss them.
