Winnetka , All State Parks

I travel all over this State. I always take my annual state park day time parking pass with me. I hike in Topanga and Will Rodgers, I stop to see the elephant seals in San Simion, Go to Morro rock to fish,I just two weeks ago went to the state park at Tomales Bay, and I have stories like that, for many of other parks on the closure list. I go to many of the beaches on the lifeguard reduction list as well. The truth be told, I love California, and always have felt great about, and taken comfort in, the fact that no matter where I am in this great state that I can find a state park to relax in, have a BBQ, surf, hike swim, see nature, and enjoy myself. I have to many stories of enjoying myself, in state parks. Starting all the way back in the early 80's when my father used to take my 3 brothers and I to state parks like Mount Diablo and Natural Bridges. When we moved to Simi Valley from the Bay, one of the first things we did is go to some state parks like Santa Susana, Topanga, and Leo Carrillo. Many wonderful stories in my life revolve around the state parks. I think we need more state parks and not less. The people of California, especially the children, deserve better.
