One of my better shots of Muir Woods.
Glad to hear you are having a good time! Drink some wine for me!

As a been here all my life Floridian, I have to agree.
I'm used to all the quirks here in Florida and I love it but Cali is awesome.
Lived in NorCal for 8 months and I enjoyed it very much.
If I had friends there I would have stayed there.
The higher cost there didn't affect me much but the state income tax does hurt.

Does it have a gas station yet? My only visit to the Bay area was in 1995 for a 2 day class at 3Com and I was going to drive up Highway 1 to Bodega Bay. Knowing nothing of that area I saw on a map Stinson Beach was the first town I would come to and figured I would just gas up there. I pulled into the town with the rental car on fumes and found out the closest gas station was probably in some town about 9 miles away around a bay there. I made it to the station and the gas cost +/- $1.75 a gallon so I bought enough to get me someplace populated and never did get to get up to Bodega Bay. I put a ton of mileage on the rental car in the 3 days I was there and agree it is really a beautiful part of the country.

ive been to both so cal and no cal, and im from minnesota..its the same thing to me 🙂
My wife and I rode our bikes (the kind you pedal) from Vancouver, Canada to Monterey, California. The morning we rode in to SF through Marin county was one of the best of the whole trip.
We stopped in Monterey because riding started becoming less enjoyable. Through WA, OR and NorCAL, we would just leave our bikes leaned up against a supermarket while we would get groceries. Maybe not advised, but we never had a problem, and almost all the people we met were incredibly decent folks.
We met great people further south too, but the character of the place changed completely. Part of this is simply population density and the resulting issues. Whatever the reason, we just decided to rent a car and blast down the I-5. SoCal just seemed less inviting to cyclists.
Now I don't envy Northern Californians too much for the landscape, as I live in South Coastal British Columbia, which is every bit as beautiful. But I would happily get on my bike tomorrow morning and head south again.

:Q i was born there
I'm a Northern California (well, Bay Area) native, and I love it here. But, within the next 2-4 years we'll be moving somewhere else, probably North Carolina. The housing prices are just too expensive for my wife and I to ever own a home. It really sucks, because I'm California born and raised, most of my family is here, and I don't want to leave, but I have no choice.
Me too.
Me too.

except New Jersey 😛
EDIT: Wyoming>NJ
You're making me homesick. I was born in Sacramento and raised near there. If thats the bridge I think it is we used to swim there when I was a kid. I moved near seattle a few years ago and last time I went back they were building homes over all the farm land and it took me 2.5 hours to get to my brothers house from sac, it's only 40 miles.
It's really sad to see it being wasted on ugly track homes.

I've been there too. Nice places all of them.
But I do NOT envy californians of any type.
In SF they pay 4 million bucks for a shack on the waterfront.
And they're PROUD of it!

Mill Valley wasnt too bad, but still not a good deal compared to anywhere else in the US.
And if you really think california is so much better than florida I say: "Do it. Have fun."
