I also remember my trip back from Monterey, CA and coming through Boron, CA. Wow, that place made Needles, CA look nice a vacation spot.
No doubt, California has a beautiful coast, and a lot of great countryside. It has some places that make the Oklahoma Panhandle look great!

Having lived there I can tell you parts of CA are hot and dry and brown all year round. We had a date tree and they were good if I remembered to water it now and then. San Diego was a nice place to visit. Yuma had a good ribs place and a nice spoon range. It was hot and dry and brown as well. They filmed Star Wars not far from where we lived. Interesting people though. The Salton Sea stinks like you wouldn't believe some days though, so hope the wind is blowing the right way when you drive by.
