Apple Valley: The Antidote to LA?
So, you're itching to escape the concrete jungle of LA, huh? Good for you! You’ve got great taste (or you're just trying to impress your vegan, crystal-loving cousin). Let's talk about Apple Valley.
Apple Valley: It's Not Just for Apples
First off, let's clear something up: there aren’t actually any apple orchards in Apple Valley. It's a classic case of false advertising. I mean, can you imagine the traffic jams if everyone decided to go apple picking there? It would be worse than Black Friday at Walmart. But don't let that discourage you. Apple Valley has its own charm – think wide open spaces, fewer Kardashians, and probably better air quality.
How Far is Too Far?
Now, the burning question: how far is this promised land from the City of Angels? Well, buckle up, buttercup, because it's about a 90-mile drive. That's roughly the distance between your couch and the fridge. So close, yet so far.
But hey, look on the bright side! It's the perfect distance for a day trip. You can soak up the desert vibes, pretend you're a cowboy (or cowgirl), and be back in time for dinner and a reality TV marathon. Or, if you're feeling adventurous, you can make a weekend out of it and really immerse yourself in the Apple Valley experience. Just don't forget your sunscreen and a good book.
Is it Worth the Drive?
Whether it's worth the drive depends on what you're looking for. If you crave peace and quiet, love staring at mountains, and don't mind trading in your avocado toast for a hearty breakfast burrito, then Apple Valley might be your new favorite spot. But if you're addicted to the hustle and bustle, and can't live without your artisanal coffee, then maybe stick to exploring different neighborhoods of LA.
