California is a really great state to live in and my memories here is amazing. The main memory that I remember the most is when I spent my time at the Joshua Tree National Park, rock climbing and hiking. As well as memories that I was rock climbing and hiking at random places in the Mojave Desert. One memory when I was rock climbing/ hiking is when me and my older brother almost stepped on a adult diamondback rattlesnake.

This gives government the opportunity to make money, because people would pay money in order to see the beauty of the land now that it is cleared up.
