The Planet of California

<p>I&rsquo;m a native Californian, born and raised in paradise. The weather along our more than 3,000 miles of tidal coastline is spectacular practically every day. The Sierra Mountains are our border sentinels, over 14,000 feet at their peaks, stretching 400 miles long of pristine wilderness to world-class resorts. Ski after brunch and be tanning, running, biking on the beach by the afternoon &mdash; from mid-October through early June. Ask me my religion, and I&rsquo;ll say I&rsquo;m Californian.&nbsp;We are a culture all our own out here; active, progressive, wildly creative &mdash; fantastically separate from anywhere else, yet intricately connected to the world.</p> <p><a href="https://medium.com/@author_jcafesin/the-planet-of-california-145e61191595"><strong>Website</strong></a></p>
