Nature is certainly something northern california has southern california beat on
I'm from SoCal and yosemite is about the same distance from Sacto than LA. As far as nature goes, we have the Santa Monica Mountains and the Angeles forest and nothing beats the best kind of nature than the beautiful ocean.
hmmm... ocean with beautiful women or farmland with lots of trees and cows...
you decide
excuse me but yosemite is not the same distance from sacto as from LA. Not even close. I can get their in like an hour from my house. It takes me 6 hours to drive to LA. And sure, you have the beach, but there are also beaches in nor cal. Remember, the ocean does border the entire coastline of california. Although it is pretty much too cold to go swimming in nor cal, I would have to say the views are much better. I mean there are nice rock cliffs with gorgeous views over the oceans. And you are not going to tell me that there are better forests in so cal than in nor cal. I mean so cal is a frikkin dessert (or desert?)...it's just that hollywood pays to make it look all fake and stuff
Since I don't know where you live, I said from Sacramento. and it only takes me a little over four hours to get to Yosemite. Los Angeles might be considered a desert, but if it is, it's quite an oasis. And since we have been talking about Sacramento, then you can't say much about the beaches since there are none. If you referring to Mendocino, San Francisco, or Monterey, then I agree that there are some really nice views, but it would be nice to go into the water too. You want forests, we have them, but if you're referring to the redwoods up there, then they're not in Sacramento.
If you think this a NoCal vs SoCal arguement, it's not. My beef is with the Sacramento area. I've lived there and I hated it. I lived in the Bay Area and I loved it. So it's not Northern Cali that I have a problem with.
Oh ya, I didn't know Hollywood paid to make everything around me look "fake". I guess everything's a facade around here.
