      It’s got strongly developed post apocalypse vibes. You can pull down just about any street and be like “I should not be here…”

        Now I want to visit. I mean, there should be 1000 and 1 reason to visit USA and California in particular, but that’s the first one which really gives a feeling.

          You’d also like the 3rd largest city in California, California City. Both are portraits of a generation that could afford to dream big and avoid financial ruin.

            Bakersfield too, if you want to find life hanging on a bit better than some of the inland counties. California has a lot of strange feelings if you take the time to look in the right corners.

            • A desert megacity next to the sea? Los Angeles.
            • Incredibly posh people surrounded by the destitute? Newport beach in orange county.
            • A slow-motion wave of impenetrable fog gently cresting the mountains around it? San Francisco.

            This state has a lot more to it than TV and movies let on. Don’t just drive it, check it out on motorcycle or bicycle too.

      If a person IS strangely into all of that stuff then I actually recommend the annual Fallout New Vegas festival they hold in Goodsprings Nevada, instead.
