THE BITTER BITCH’S GUIDE TO
California
Did you know?
California is the only state in the union that features an extinct animal on it’s state flag and seal - the California Grizzly.
The Sunshine State…or is it?
The absolute truth? I loathe California. It is called The Bitter Bitch after all. I can only imagine what stunning views and vistas the first settlers saw when they crossed that ridgeline, now a cesspool of people, smog, traffic, and entitlement. The gas prices are horrendous, everything is crowded and you can never find a parking spot.
However, and this is a big however, there are still some redeeming qualities to the place. Some of the national parks are top notch, such as Yosemite and Sequoia, and some are wildly off the radar, like Anza Borrego (which I love). There’s the most toxic lake in the world, Salton Sea, and of course 840 miles of wildly beautiful coastline, congested but still beautiful.
Looks like you’ll just have to find out for yourself if California is your cup of tea or not!
