Thanks much - never heard that term before.
I’m not a native, I’m a North Carolinian, but I’m often dismayed at the complete dismissal of the whole state of California by FReepers. In geographic area, it’s predominantly conservative. Free Republic is based in Fresno, for goodness sakes.
The Central Coast can be quite beautiful, nice little towns with gorgeous views of the Pacific from up in the hills, Capitola, Morro Bay, San Luis Obispo, etcetera. I’ve often thought I’d enjoy living there.
As RegulatorCountry says, it is a beautiful area, perfect for a romantic B&B weekend. Some of the back roads inland, like from Cambria toward Paso Robles, rate in my book as good as anything in the backwoods of New England.
