It's a big, deep lake in the mountains. I like it better when it isn't crawling with millions of people. That is a rare occurance, however. Yosemite Wow, big waterfalls. I really like northwest California, even if most of the people who actually live there are a little strange.
Redwood trees are huge and the region is really lush with vegitation of all types.
Northeastern California High and flat except for the occasional mountain. Strangely enough, only about 15,000 people live in this entire chunk of the state. It's not very exciting, especially if drinking wine isn't the number one activity on the agenda. The Bay Area Several million people and all of them own multiple cars. San Francisco is the center of all weirdness on Earth, but even I can't fault the nice museums and stores and stuff.
