That introduction to San Francisco and the surrounding area fascinated me, and has resulted in my exploration of the whole California State, and the surrounding States in very great detail every day for the past 17 years!
Just about every variation of scenery can be found near the States bordering the Pacific Coast and I have been making the most of it ever since!
My purchase of various; "18 Wheels of Steel" Truck Simulators also enables me to explore the USA scenery at ground level!...>> http://www.scssoft.com/aa.php
...and specially for the whole of California; "Rig 'n Roll" ...>>> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rig_%27n%27_Roll
If you want to know anything about California, just drop me a line...
