The squiggly horizonial lines seen here were called "vailing" and reportedly required a special paint and nozzle for the spray gun. This effect is seldom seen today.

This may cause flashbacks for some. There was even the price tag from Canadian Tire still on the box. Couldn't *quite* tell if it was 66 or 65 cents though.

Andrew says he inherited this piece of camping awesomeness from his parents. :)

In the San Diego Arena.

2 of the Red Cars, 500 and 501 are replicas built to the original plans of the 1909 version and the 3rd car 1058 a 1000-class is a fully restored 1907-vintage Pacific Electric car.

Down San Pedro way is the Pacific Electric Railway Trolley cars aka BIG Red Cars which operate on the Port of Los Angeles Waterfront Red Car Line that is 1.5 mile long. The trolley line connecting points are the San Pedros World Cruise Center , Fanfare at San Pedro Gateway , Ports O' Call, 6th Street and the LA Maritime Museum, Fisherman's Wharf and 22nd Street Landing, and a few other attractions along the waterfront. The line is using a former Pacific Electric right-of- way, with traditional 600-volt DC overhead trolley wire.

For those of you who have been surfing the San Onofre area for more than a few decades you might remember this place called Echo Arch which was a walk in campground (on the beach) located just north of Trail 1 at the San O campground.

These are some old photos taken in 1980 that I came across from back in the day while my friends and I camped there.

We would pack our boards, wetsuits, towels, a little food and other "incidentals" for surf trips from our usual stomping grounds like Seal Beach, H.B. and Newport and head down to San Onofre, Oceanside or beyond for the weekend.

I used Photoscape to clean up the shots.

The 7 story building built in 1928 use to be a police headquarters, city hall and fire station. The 7th floor was where the jail was. It was nicknamed 7th Heaven. Now the building is a fire museum and offices for various Los Angeles City departments.

For some mad reason I stayed up in the Hudd for Christmas day once. I volunteered to cat sit for Jen and Jon's cats. Here they are enjoying Christmas morning. I can't remember their names.

The sign says this lifted and full flake painted Impala is for sale. The price is $2000! It was understood at the time that custom modifications would probably lower the resale value of a vehicle to less than that of a stock example.

For 365 Days and FGR.
