    Personal Narrative: The Painted Ladies

    After Big Sur and spending the night in Pacifica we went further north to San Francisco. When we spent the night in Pacifica our hotel was right near the ocean. It was such a beautiful view to wake up to. I just absolutely love the sound of the ocean. In San Francisco we went over the Golden Gate Bridge. It was a pretty cool thing to see with the views of San Francisco and the ocean. We then went to the park across from the Painted Ladies. The Painted Ladies are the houses that appear in the background of the opening of the original Full House series. It was an awesome thing to go see as I grew up watching Full House and will still watch it from time to time. Once we were done at the park we went to the San Francisco Giants stadium. Although…

    Salton Sea Research Paper

    Places like Camp Dunlop, Patton’s Third Army Desert Training Center (currently known as Slab City) were for the military in the thirties and early forties. For families it was a spot for various activities such as camping , water skiing, fishing, jet skiing, hiking, birdwatching, sailboarding, and boating. It was such a popular spot for tourism that eventually sea lions were brought to the Salton Sea. But that wasn’t all, thanks to the California Department of Fish and Game, the Salton sea had become a paradisal fishing ground in the fifties. It also became a critical link for flocks of migratory birds along the Pacific Flyway that earned it 3.1 million dollars annually for bird watching. It even became a major National Wildlife Refuge to many animal species, such as the Raccoon, Jack rabbit, the Sidewinder, the Roadrunner, and many more. People came around during that time to watch the 500 mile powerboat endurance race at the sea and stayed to hang out at Albert Frey’s North Shore Yacht Club; including people like the Marx Brothers and the Beach Boys.They even had a popular hotel named the Palms Motel on the Salton Sea Beach that had a beautiful pier, the Salton Sea Test Base Seaplane Pier, that is now only rementants.
