My brother,
I do ONE of those six activities I mentioned 3-4 times per month, not "rock-climbing every weekend" as you said. We're hip to your belittling tactics at RVF--just please disagree tastefully without twisting my words to make what I wrote appear to be ridiculous (".00000001% of people" nonsense)
Sorry, I didn't try to come off as "mean". I am trying to work on that.
But you have to admit, most people aren't doing all these "outdoor activities" as frequently as you are. You are in a very small percentage, right?
You used the same line of reasoning with me about my location independent comment.
Fair is fair.

Also, I definitely agree with you about sharing the wealth. I've been thinking about the Miami/LA data-sheets, but I haven't made some yet as both are so well covered here and due to the time to write a data-sheet the way I like.
If you notice, I have contributed on LA and Miami threads, answering guy's questions, sometimes right in there with your own comments.
That said, I still might write something if I feel like I can really shed light on something that hasn't already been covered.
Yeah, break it down. This forum isn't about one person writing a Data Sheet and it's a wrap.

Has anyone brought up weather? The climate in Socal is amazing. One of the best in the world, and easily the best in the United States. Few places I've been have a similar climate (parts of Chile, Spain, Lebanon and Israel). There's just something about getting off the plane and walking around LA or San Diego on a sunny day that just puts you in a good, laid back kind of mood.
HC,
Yes, I love the weather in LA and SD, but I don't really mention it in a "versus" discussion because I also love Miami weather.
Actually contrary to most people, I give the slight edge to Miami. I'll take oppressive summers combined with swimming in the ocean 10 months per year versus LA more mild summers, but swimming only 3 months per year.
I have actually poured over historical weather Data going back decades.
Basically, South Beach has better weather than San Diego (using San Diego because it has the best weather) 5 months of the year.
San Diego has better weather than South Beach 4 months of the year.
3 months even.

I don't really get the whole "CA has skiing" part of the debate....sure its technically CA, but if you have to drive 7 or 8 hours, how is that so much better than just catching a flight from Miami to Colorado?
Also, people surf and can do all the water activites in Florida too, so that's another point I don't really get. seems like a push to me in the "activities" category.
My point exactly.
People will say California has great skiing yet it is 8 hours away. Technically this is correct, I guess.
But then people say Florida isn't good for surfing and a very short, closer plane ride is Puerto Rico, Costa Rica, Panama, Barbados etc.
Wash for sure.
