Learn to live with it.

40 years ago California was arguably the most beautiful prosperous part of America.

Today its the closest thing we have to a 3rd world **** hole.

Leftist like you made this happen, and I will remind the world of this every chance I get.

Blah blah blah..you just have to make stupid posts where they don't belong.....
 
I went out west last summer and had a great time.

If I had any advice, it would be to avoid tourist traps (or go during non-peak).

Plan for extra time. The biggest problem I had was how everything was perfect on paper, but grinding out 8 to 10 hours a day driving, every day - **** that ****, man. That was rough. By the time we got there, we were too wiped from the ride to want to do anything.

So plan well, and don't try to get everything in in the same day. Do what you have to do first, and work your way down. That way, if you miss, like the world's largest ball of yarn, it'll be no big deal, because you were really there to see, like, the Grand Canyon anyway.

And don't expect much from Area 51. Even though it is allegedly no longer there, there are signs everywhere that say you will be shot on sight if you try to get in or around it. It's still fully guarded. Wonder why that is? *queue X-Files music*

Ha! On Area 51, you are limited...my brother did a tour of the nuke bomb sites there a few years ago. Hard ticket to get, they sell them out for the whole year instantly...and you have to have a background check, and no pictures. Hell, I would just love to be able to walk around Jackass Flats and photograph all the Project NERVA test stands and such. That was a test site for nuclear powered rocket engines, JFK even visited. Rumor is that they deliberately ran one of the reactors until it self destructed, just to see what would happen. Lots of hot metal to clean up. The site is on Google Earth, and you can see the railroad tracks where they took the reactor/rocket via rail a few miles from the control room and lab to the test stand.

We didn't even go. We had too many people tell us that there was razor wire and armed guards and ****, and we felt like we'd rather spend the time in Vegas than be chased down by a bunch of MPs. :lol:
