san luis obispo county, CA here...

Looks like Molten and Lace are getting romantic -- let's hope they click. I spent four wonderful years at Cal Poly in the period 1964-1968. I have mostly happy memories of those days, including scrambles of all the minor summits along the valley, poison oak and all.

I live in Canada now. Life only comes by once, but I will always remember San Luis and Cal Poly, and young love, and hiking to the summit of Morro Rock (it was allowed back then).

"An old man returns to Paris,​

As every old man must.​

He finds the winter winds blow cold.​

His dreams have turned to dust.​

Raspberries, strawberries, the good wines we brew.​

Here's to the girls of the country side, whom we must bid adieu."​

Dirty Dog :
Looks like a photo from the top of Mt. Cuesta. I used to ride my motorcycle up there on the week end a watch the hang gliders take to the wind. Always wanted to try it but never did.....................Dennis.....

 

that's a beautiful photo! Very represetitive of SLO. when was it taken?

 

iv always wondered....why do they have letters on the tops of the mountains?

 

on the sides? there's one on seven of the nine sisters (most people think there are only seven sisters because two are underwater.) I think they are the first letters of the name of the mountain or the person that owns it.

 

The SLO shot is obviously from a plane, year unknown. If you see some white specks in the foreground at the base of the hill, that is the Cal Poly architectural project center, where you can find houses built like mushrooms, domes, pipe dreams or whatever. I lost my virginity there early one evening in 1965.

Why do 'they' put letters on hillsides? The one above Cal Poly is a letter 'P'. It stands for 'pissed'.
