Second Google Earth lesson - no matter how much you know, there are vast places in the world that you know nothing about. This is not just things in distant foreign countries, this is stuff virtually right in your backyard.

Note: None of these pictures are mine.

Of course, no matter how good it is, this is still California. The state that brought you Half Dome and Mount Whitney and Yosemite and Monterrey and Sequoia National Park. In a place like CA there's always something that gets forgotten about. But it's there. It's right there. And it's big. It's bold. It's amazing. And it's a hell of a lot closer than Disneyland.

But don't tell anyone. The less who know, probably the better.
