Los Angeles is next

We have not built the LA guide yet, and we are not going to fake it. Right now we have 8 candidate destinations and their drive times from central LA - nothing else. No scores, no attraction write-ups, no restaurant picks. Those only get published once someone has actually gone.

Why this page is nearly empty. The whole point of this site is that the ratings come from real visits, not from scraping. An LA section assembled without that would be worth less than nothing - it would make the Bay Area pages harder to trust too. This page is marked noindex and is not in our sitemap.

On the list

Destination	Drive from LA	Distance
Ojai	1h 45m	83 mi
Santa Barbara	1h 55m	95 mi
Palm Springs	2h 03m	107 mi
Big Bear Lake	2h 14m	98 mi
Idyllwild	2h 14m	109 mi
San Diego	2h 27m	121 mi
Solvang	2h 41m	128 mi
Julian	2h 56m	138 mi

Drive times computed from coordinates with a per-route calibration factor. They are estimates, not routing-API results.

In the meantime

The Bay Area guide is live - 38 destinations, 91 attractions and 88 restaurants, each scored against a published rubric.
