You are right, air hammer! I should! That will be a major regret in my life. Love the food, Love the people and their attitudes. Just not that adventurous anymore. My brother used to go down to Ensenada and rent a bungalow for a week on the shore of the ocean and just loved it. And despite all the bad press the California gets, once you get north of Sacramento things can get pretty remote and arenβt all that expensive. I have backpacked all over the Sierras, Trinity Alps, a lot of the smaller wilderness areas. But the old body and specifically the knees are worn out! L O L! I wouldnβt live anywhere else. Bagging 13,000 foot peaks, catching native golden trout way up in the headwaters of the Kern, hiking out in blizzards, Sheltering for a couple of days in howling downpours under a nylon tarp. With the same good buddies most of the time. Those are the memories of California letβs go to the grave with you. Not living in SoCal or the Bay Area or any of the populated places. You can go for the money, or you can go for the freedom and open spaces. It was a no-brainer for me. I love California! Just like you probably love where youβre at in Canada. And I donβt think Iβve ever met a Canadian that I havenβt gotten along with. They are good people also. And I can belt out, oh Canada, with the best of them! L O L! Take it easy.
