In fourty-five minutes I could be one of the most beautiful cities in the world or, driving the same amount of time in the opposite direction, in a quaint, hippy collage town on the beach. In half that time I could be hiking in the hills. In about 4 hours I could be in Lake Tahoe; water sports and gaming in the summer, skiing (and gaming) in the winter.
