There are so many beautiful places in California I don't even know where to start. The coastal range and it's Coastal Live Oak and golden hills are what I miss the most. The only place I have found even close to it is in Italy and the Mediterranean pine in those parts is beautiful in it's own right but not the same as the California Live Oak.

Sop we've heard, ad infinitum, ad nauseam. Have you expressed this sentiment to the good people in the TN forum?

Is there a TN forum?

Tennessee is definitely a pulchritudinous place! Such Beauty exists there

The pulchritudinous bits of CA that I enjoy are the Pacifc Ocean, the Mountains and the Redwoods.

I enjoyed most of what California had to offer. I grew up in Southern California beach community enjoying beaches and boating but also spent time enjoying places like San Bernardino mountains, desert, Catalina, Lake Isabella and live in Yuba City for awhile area enjoying that part of the state. Lot's of great memories in California ... especially the early years in the 70's.

Undoobetedly pulchritudinous La Jolla cliffs. If there was a Heaven on Earth . . .









Serendipitous!

California is so diverse. It has so much of everything.
The whole state is a gem. However, I love the coastal redwood groves and Black Sands beach.

I refer, of course, to the great word "pulchritudinous" ... a word which few here knew before today, and those who did had probably never found occasion to use in a sentence ... and above all, a word which so exquisitely describes the great state of California.

While Don9 used the word to describe fishing in his new found homeland of Tennessee, we can here immediately realize its value in describing the great Golden Bear: California.

Pulchritudinousity of mountains and shorelines ... deltas and deserts ... glittering cities and friendly hamlets and towns ... 840 miles long ... 163,707 square miles of pulchritude.

What do you readers find most pulchritudinous about California? The redwoods? Death Valley? The Mendocino coast? The extraordinary pot grown in Humboldt County? Share ...
Definitely the beaches, but alas, not the girls on them anymore.

Curse McDonalds, Taco Bell, Arbys, Wendy's, Burger King, Carls, and all the rest ..... except In and Out, love their burgers (Though the fries are lousy).
