Back in the mid-90's, my kid and I were hatin' life in an apartment in town. A couple friends had recently purchased 5 acres in the country and needed help with the payments, so they invited us to move in.

When we arrived the place was pretty bare. A major fire had come through a couple of years ago and taken out two outbuildings and a few trees. The property sits on hillside and is covered with oak trees; there was so much undergrowth that we couldn't walk the perimeter without doing some bushwhacking.

I stopped by for the night last week. Eight years and lots of $$ and grunt work have turned the place into a park - it's beautiful. Check it out!

The accident was about 700 yards east of the memorial site; IIRC it was right where the 46 from Bakersfield and the 41 from Fresno come together.

Semi-interesting tidbits - the memorial was conceived and paid for by a Japanese guy who loved James Dean. The Hearst family donated the peice of dirt it sits on.

Historical markers can be quite educational. :D

WOW... I need to get down for a visit.


Yup it is. And yes you do need to go visit; if you haven't seen it for awhile you'll be blown away (I was!).

Can't post the best shots until I get them smaller in file size; working on that...

I'm glad you had fun, and won money and got lucky and all that, but I'm still moderately pissed you didn't show up on Saturday.>:(

Well not quite that pissed, cause you called, but still....:P

(Edit: not you Hookitt, Bytch. And BTW, hooking Mark's reserve up so he could get back up was another kindness on a big pile. You are quality people.)
