Wow , so I would think that you were working as a police/man, person then? Wouldn't it be a kick if we knew each other back then? This may need to
become a U2U so as not to mess up this poll thread.I skied every day of the weekday and traded my time working in the daycare center in BV for daycare
for my youngest on the weekends.My older girls went to the BV school(population 32, grades kinder to 6th) and skied for their P.E.! We lived in the A
frame right up BV road for the first few years. I'll bet you know who i am/was......U2U me? Sally  
Happiness is just a Baja memory away...

Orange County ...."The OC" from the time it was a rural faming community though it's growth to a populated mess.
Retired and live on a hill, the only hill, overlooking the blue Pacific in Pismo Beach in the middle of a mild Micro Climate, never too hot never too
cold...Life it good, life is great.
Why I have left these two paradises roamed around dusty, hot, muddy Baja for the past 56 years- GOK! ..........
Perhaps Sir Robert Service provided the answer --a modern Sam Mc Gee-- "...Why he left his home in Plum Tree down in Tennessee to roam around Nome God
only knows..."

Fullerton, when it was all agricultural, and when there was only one open freeway, and we used to use the unopened, underconstruction one for night
time drag races!!!! Spent my teenage years with friends running off to Baja (only Tijuana to Ensenada) for not the most wholesome of reasons, but as
often as possible.
Then Marin County and Stinson Beach where I don't have to worry about the shark attacks because I can't cope with the hypothermia.
Working my way south...to Loreto.

Sure-- though my intent was to gather general statistics, not life confessions.
I've lived in California a total of 6 years, high school in Orange county and a couple of years as an adult due to various quirks of fate. Long
enough to have a feel for the place but not so long as to have an emotional connection. To the contrary: I believe that Santa Barbara north is a
different tune, but Southern Cal, at least, is one of the last places on earth I would choose to live: "Bods of gods, hearts of stone".

Larry,
I find these posts more interesting that just a poll. Actually, I didn't see the poll form when I first posted. Apparently nobody else did either.
Obviously most of the Californians who responded can relate to lots of locations mentioned.
Regarding living in Southern California, I agree with you. Notice in my post I said "I escaped" from L.A. at 19.
By the way, a Life's Confessions topic could really be interesting. Maybe keep it to Baja. There have been variations of this posted here
from time to time...always interesting.

I'll be 50 in a couple months and I've always lived west of the 5 in either Ventura, LA, Orange or SD counties. Been in San Clemente for about 20
years and have family who bought their home here in the 40's.

Born in Richmond during the war (II) and lived south as far as Lemon Grove, and north to Humbug Creek. Until I left home, I lived where everyone else
went on vacaton; in California State Parks. Lived in Yuma for a while when my father was the first Ranger at Picacho State Rec. Area.
