Bridge to Nowhere? Not really.

From OCT 12 2008


No, here we have the Lockwood-San Luis Road span over the Salinas River. Behind us lies Jolon Rd, Arroyo Seco Rd, Carmel Valley Road, and tire tracks back to Chez le Hop. Ahead of us is CA 198 and 25, and the road back home. All in all, a 5-hour drive mostly on two-lane open roads. In other words: Heaven.

My First (animated) TV Crush



CRYSTAL
character from "Space Angel"...

Space Angel was the code name of Scott McCloud, an agent for the Earth Bureau of Investigation. Devoted to the security and welfare of the solar system, McCloud and his crew roamed the universe in the super-spaceship, Starduster. The crew, who made up the bureau's Interplanetary Space Force, included Taurus, an expert pilot and mechanic; Crystal, a specialist in electronics and astro-navigation; and Crystal's father, Professor Mace, head of base station Evening Star.

BZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZT!! Time's up.

Never thought I'd be able to milk a single location for three posts.

Answer to the question posited in our most recent posts:

DONNER LAKE STATE HISTORIC PARK

Of course, we at The Shouting Grasshopper realize that our readers have more important things to do than decipher arcane/silly hints to meaningless questions.

OTOH, consider the internet backwaters that we are floating in.
