Reply #17: I love San Diego

[KitchenWitch]

Granted I have not done a whole lot of exploring San Diego, but I think overall, San Diego county is prettier than Orange County. Although, along the coastline, it seems like it is just one big sprawl from about 40 miles north of Los Angeles, all the way down to San Diego. With the exception of Camp Pendleton, which is large, hilly and mostly wide open space.

I grew up in a suburb of Minneapolis and probably could not live in a place more than 60 miles outside a large metro area. It is what I am accustomed to.

I have visited northern California, and I find it far more compelling than southern California. But nothing tops the beauty of Minnesota and Wisconsin, where a 2-3 hour drive actually covers some country, versus here, where you may not even get more than 50-60 miles in 3 hours if traffic is bad.
