SAN DIEGO HARBOR LIGHTS IN 1972

I was stationed in California in San Diego when I was in the Navy.My home was a U.S. Navy ATF (tugboat). I arrived in July 1971 and left in January of 1975.In the meantime I had gotten married,had a daughter,made two WESTPACS,made several trips up and down the coast from San Diego to Seattle and still didn't see SeaWorld.

My grandmother lived in Porterville,Ca. That was my last visit to California and when I visited the Sequoia National Park.This is the one place I would like to back and visit again.This park should be on the must see list when visiting California .

Hope to see this Sequoia park in the fall. It looks like the kind of place we like to take our time and see it all.
