Sure, if you leave at 3AM. Dude, takes me 2 hours to go from Santa Rosa to Concord in daylight.I have not fled yet, just in the process.The only thing good left in California is the weather. And only because Democrats have not figured out how to destroy that yet.Yeah- not surprised that a Contard faux American doesn't appreciate California.
As a real American- even though I may disagree with Texas- I appreciate Texas- and think the United States is better off with all of our 50 states.
What is the big draw to California? Only someone who has never been here would say that.
But as we all know- only a faux American would be pissing on a state during the middle of a disaster. You know- a faux American like you.
- Weather- mild winters, low humidity, great growing climate.
- Produce- California grows more produce than any other state http://www.slate.com/articles/healt..._and_vegetables_what_would_we_eat_without.htm
- Yes- we have an occasional earthquake, yes we have wildfires, but we don't have hurricanes, and we virtually have no tornadoes. Or blizzards.
- Wine- best wine in the country- some of the best in the world. Some of those vines have burned down the last few days.
Farming is all but a shell of what it was because of Democrat initiated regulations.
Well I know you fled California but that was your choice.
The weather of course is fantastic- as is the wine industry- and the geography.
I live in San Francisco- one of the most beautiful cities in America- on the San Francisco bay- again a gorgeous body of water.
Drive down the coast from Oregon to San Diego and there are lovely communities and beaches and forests the entire way.
Go up to Lake Tahoe and look over the blue waters there and tell me again how the weather is the only thing good in California. Or Yosemite. Or Redwood National Park. Or Death Valley.
Silicon Valley is thriving- and continues to draw the best and brightest from all over the United States and the world.
Of course California has our own problems- does anyone believe any state doesn't have them? But I have travelled all over the United States- and lived in a bunch of places- and I prefer California- even as I appreciate the other places.
I'm working at a concert tonight 45 miles away. It will take me 2-4 hours to get there.
Yeah, lots of natural beauty left in Calif but you can't enjoy it because you can't get anywhere.
From San Francisco it takes me no more than 4-5 hours to reach the following- and most are only 1-2 hours
Lake Tahoe
Yosemite
Gold Country
Sacramento Rail Museum
Napa wine country
Sonoma wine country
Lodi wine country
Central Coast wine country
Monterrey
Carmel
Big Sur
Pt. Reyes National Seashore
Bodega Bay
The town of Mendocino
Santa Cruz
Fort Bragg
Gualala
The American River
Lake Shasta
And so many places in the Sierra's I can begin to name them all.
And why is that? Because Santa Rosa has one freeway heading north/south. Sure there are spots with congestion- hell look at 880.
How long does it take for you to drive to Lake Tahoe? About 5 hours. Unless you are driving during the commute hours or during our fire storm. Yosemite is probably 6. On the other hand heading north once you pass Healdsburg you can make great time up 101. Or heading west through to the coast- a lovely drive.
