  I used to go camping in Clear Lake way back in the 80s. Back then I called it &apos;the poor man&apos;s Tahoe.&apos; It still looks way better than most of California. Los Angeles is the worst in every imaginable way one can think of. So glad I escaped from there last year. It&apos;s just pure evil how the &apos;powers&apos; have destroyed this state which used to be one of the most beautiful places. The rest of the country (and the world) needs to be aware and protect their cities and towns if they haven&apos;t already been butchered by greed which has decimated everyone and everything it touches. No one ever talks about the true cause of this devastation.

  I had a good friend who drowned in Clearlake last year. High winds pushed him out in his kayak and he went missing. Friends and family launched a massive search all over the lake and the surrounding area. Found his body 2 days later washed ashore. He was a healthy 26 years old. RIP Dylan, we miss you bro. 😔 Not only is this lake toxic, it’s also dangerous for inexperienced boaters. The winds move quickly through the mountain valleys and right over that lake. Stay away.

  I have been visiting Clearlake since 1960, and living there for ten years now. &nbsp;It has been a lot worse in the past, and constantly getting better in the past ten years. &nbsp;We do have a high unemployment rate, mainly because of having such a high percentage of retired people and disabled persons who were forced out of living in the super expensive San Francisco bay area. &nbsp;It feels very safe living in Lake County now.

  I am a 60 year resident of Clearlake. I have seen the good, the bad, and now the resurgence of this wonderful place to live. The Lake isn&apos;t polluted, as some say. Clearlake is the #1 Bass Lake in the western States and there are tournaments here every weekend of the Spring and Summer. The lake is still filled with people on the water in the Summer months, and now that the Lake is filling up after the drought, it will be once again a fun place for skiers, jet skiers, fisherman and those just enjoying the Lake Life! Great video Nick!

  I grew up and lived in SoCal 30+ years and just recently moved to Arlington TX because my job moved out of CA. It is really sad on what CA has become! 😔

  OMG Nick!... My family were some of the original settlers of Clearlake!<br>At one time Clearlake was a nice community! I spent summers there in the sixties with my grandparents, swimming in the lake, no worries of the people or drugs back then... Wow as depressing as it now is, it once was a great place to live and visit. <br>Thank you Nick. I will share this amongst my family.

  You should visit the other more obscured places in Cali next, like Plumas, Lassen, Modoc, and Humboldt etc.

  I feel like Nick uses a lot more cursing in California videos, and it suits the videos perfectly. I’m trying to figure out how to leave this state as well. Dear God please let me make it to Utah.
