And the interesting thing is that many of the most beautiful parts of the state should be National Parks but are not. Lake Tahoe, Monterey Bay, Farallon Islands, Santa Barbara coast, Elephant Seal colony, Big Sur, Lake Havasu, the Little Grand Canyon, Crescent Bay and the list goes on and on.Tom and Margi said:)

You are welcome Gary. My step dad was raised in Paradise and after he married my mom we took a trip to Paradise to visit his parents. One day Chuck decided to take me to see the Henry Bidwell Museum. To get to Chico we had to drive past the Little Grand Canyon. Along the way we passed a plot of land with a for sale sign tacked up to a tree. I had Chuck stop so I could take a photo of the tree because it looked like it was the tree that was for sale. At the Bidwell mansion they had an 1800s piano so I sat down and started playing Lady Madonna. Chuck took my photo and he almost died. There was no one else in the museum and the piano was very loud. He was sure we were going to get thrown out but no one said a word. Several years later Chuck sent me a photo of the same tree after it had been hit by lightning and was mostly destroyed. I didn't save either photo of the tree.garyb1st said:
