Californian Plains

**Californian Plains** is one of many different locations appearing in *MotorStorm: ThunderRun*. It is also the first location in the game.

## Zones

### Festival Site

*The good ol' festival site! You wanna grab a bite, listen to pre-apocalypse songs, get yourself some pre-apocalypse souvenirs, or generally hang around after a race? Well, this IS the place! The garage's also there, as always. You, my friend, can interact with the other 'Stormers in On-Foot Mode! Strike up a conversation! Break the ice! Oh, and, those damn refugees are BACK AGAIN! God, I can't stand 'em, man!*

### Death Valley

*Ah, Death Valley, Death Valley, good ol' Death Valley. There ain't no good place like Death Valley! We've managed to have some of our raider 'Stormers tell the other raiders: "Hey, we're gonna be racing, so don't violate this line here, or we ain't gonna be afraid to cook ya!" - 'cause nothin' says "diplomacy" than gettin' a shotgun out, and threatenin' a trained raider, who'd been raidin' since Day 1. While you're up there, why dontcha go up Zabriskie Point and take a photo from there? You'll love it! Just uh, use something like a Baja Truck or a Mud Plugger, 'cause I ain't sure your Supercar is gonna climb it...*

### The Freeway

*Hooked up some miles away to Death Valley lies what I believe to be... lemme check... Ah, yes, State Route 14! Since no one's driven there in quite a while, it's safe to assume the Freeway's gotten into disrepair, so watch out for the potholes - I heard they come all the way from L.A.! Anyways, we're gonna race A LOT around these, so ya might wanna train your ass on avoidin' the potholes. Heard a lotta 'Stormers lost their dreams 'round here...*

### Hollywood Mountains

*We're getting close to L.A., friend! That can only mean one thing - Facing Hollywood Hills (now Mountains. Sorry, rich guys!) See if ya can handle the turns and corners. Oh wait, maybe drive a Mud Plugger or something of its class, or up its class, 'cause anythin' lower than that's off-limits. Largely 'cause a Super 2000 or Rally Car or whatever of the sort, can't handle the mountainous surfaces, but also 'cause your average Supercar will get stuck in the mud. So yeah, use a Mud Plugger, son!*

### City of Angels

*Here We Are! L.A., Baby! City of Angels! Now this here's worth our time - most of the rich guys left when the Apoclaypse happened. I got no idea where - some say they went to areas further inland, some suggest they just moved into the desert and turned into desperados. Whichever theory people suggest, the 'Stormers ain't losers. And they ain't quitters, either!*

### Los Baños

*The only civilization 'round here. Even then? This city's still a dump, although the oil wells work just fine and there's an airport packin' sh\*t outta town every 5-10 days, and this is all 26 years after the Apocalypse. While ya out there in Los Baños, yours truly would suggest that ya don't drive near the main roads. If the local warlord that runs the oil wells, airport and the general economic lifeline of Los Baños got wind that the 'Stormers drove on the main roads? He'd be pissed, and it be that Dusklite BS all-over again. So yeah, stay off the main roads while in Los Baños!*

### Wine County

*Oh man! Wine County! There's no place like Wine County, ain't it right? There is no time for drinking fine wine, so save that for after the race! Yeah, racin'. Nothin' says bein' a 'Stormer than racin', don't it? Anyways, try not to get captivated by the windin' tarmac and good-lookin' landscape. Your best shot at winnin' in here, is to drive an asphalt-based class. Supercars, Sleepers, '80s Supers, Police Cruisers, those kinds of cars.*

### Santa Cruz

*This town was full of crime pre-apocalypse. 26 years later, situation's gotten very, very bad. When I say bad? I mean, it's become Hell! It's all but thrivin'. Heard they even kidnap 'Stormers and make 'em work the farms in order to be fulfilled! Disgusting! No sh\*t why Tyler would wanna burn this whole damn town to the ground... Even more so when we caught some of those bastards having tried to abscond with some of the more prominent 'Stormers, including our esteemed head honcho, Mash!*
