Today was the first time I experienced any sort of sense of honor or privilege from being an alumni of Cal Poly and it was kinda cool. |
A couple of Cal Poly coeds sawing competitively. |
While we waited for our train ride there were things to watch or look at like this old jeep..... |
.... and some old cars being looked at by two old men. |
All aboard! |
This was the turn-around point of the ride with the engine moving up to pull the train back to the station the other direction. |
Marty gellin' like a felon. |
Al Smith's residence (with Ted Weber-designed upgrades and additions). |
I have a thing for curio cabinets and was immediately drawn to Smith's cabinets. |

I still remember the Lockheed Fire monitoring it from afar at the time but didn't realize it burned 1,100 acres of the ranch. |
The burn area of the Lockheed Fire is still visible around the ranch as seen here from the area of the rail station. |
This beautfiul covered patio area is adjacent to the Smith House and overlooks the Pacific Ocean. |
Our friend Ted Weber designed the structure. |
He also designed this beautiful barbecue structure. |
Marty pointed out this is a "Weber" grill in the truest sense. |
