Recreation - yeah right!

If you like outdoor recreation, forget about Carlsbad (and most of Southern California, for that matter). Down here, "park" means a 10 acre plot with a baseball diamond and tennis court. Open space is a joke. If you want to bike, hike, camp, etc, there is nothing worthwhile within 200 miles. The eastern Sierra are great, but you have to travel 300 miles and wade through L.A. traffic to get there. If you like surfing, there is plenty of ocean down here, but good luck finding parking in the summer. It's awfully expensive to live here given the dearth of recreation. Maybe all the sun makes people crazy.
