Most beautiful state in the union, fantastic weather, beautiful beaches, deserts, mountains, etc.
The problem with California is Californians, the actual place itself is fantastic.
YES
Being born and raised in Reno and close to Ca I spent many days hunting, fishing, and generally enjoying the State's natural wonders. We hunted and fished the eastern slopes of the Sierras and the northeastern high desert. I have many great memories of what CA was.
In the last fifteen years the State has broken off the mountain and rolled into a political sewer. It's unfortunately spilled over into here.
It still has good hunting and fishing, but keeping up with every one of the crazy rules and regulations makes it a place I now avoid. I'd no doubt get arrested for pizzing up wind or breathing more air than the State allots.
Still, they have wonderful places...just too many communists, however.
