There are many states that would be a lot of fun to visit, like the ones with beaches… Florida, Hawaii, North Carolina. Every time I start looking for places to camp, it starts with water access. Are there beaches? A river? At least a lake? The furthest west I’ve driven with my travel trailer is Texas (read about an amazing tour a couple summers ago) but California REALLY wants me to come visit as seen in their latest festive ad accompanying their invitation. They’re calling it “The Ultimate Playground” and it’s explained this way…
From towering redwood forests to sunny San Diego beaches, there’s fun to be found wherever you go in California. Discover the many ways you can play when you visit the Ultimate Playground.
The Music. Someone in the tourism department must be proud of themselves for finding this song to use. It’s over 45-years-old but fits perfectly with the clips in the ad. It’s Electric Light Orchestra with “Mr. Blue Sky.” Here’s the full track…
The Locations. Beautiful locations were highlighted in the ad, which is a smart idea. It’s like a dating profile and California put all the fun stuff in their bio. It won’t be till later you find out they’re addicted to drugs and all they want is a sugar daddy. Personal experiences aside, here are the areas shown in the commercial…
San Francisco, Sequoia & Kings Canyon National Parks, Joshua Tree National Park, Leoness Cellars in Temecula Valley (the wedding scene), Hollywood sign in Los Angeles, Crystal Cove State Park, Ingleside Estate in Palm Springs, Klamath River, Rady Shell in San Diego (the concert scene).
Speaking of nice locations, here are a few of my favorite pics from that camping trip to Texas I mentioned earlier. If you ever have a chance to check out state parks in Florida, Louisiana, Texas, and Oklahoma, send me a message and I’ll share my favorites with you!
