Report No.16

I was off for vacation last week. We went to Moneterey and Pacific Grove. When we got back I got some things done.

Covered water drain between outer track and rock wall.

Finished Freight Depot roof.

Checked fit of Turntable table before taking to basement to work on.

On Tuesday I hiked the ex-Monterey Branch,(pulled 1978), from Lover's Point, (near site of the long gone Pacific Grove Depot), to Asilomar station site, 1.6 miles. The trail is not as well used as the trail back through Monterey. I went around the moble home park where the PG station was till it was burned in 1964. At Asilomar station site is this recreation built in 2005 of the passenger shelter built by the SP, 1911-1964.  Asilomar passenger shelter is at Sinex Ave and Crocker Ave, just west of Pacific Grove. The 1960 map below is in the lobby of Borgs Motel, my starting point. I took 17 Mile Drive north then Jewell back to the motel.
Nice easy hike, though you have to watch out in the golf course for golfers Ting off next to you, I just waited till they were done. One T they waited for me to pass next to them. Other parts feels like your walking in peoples back yards.

I liked it so much, that I had to make one for the hot summers at Omega Siding. I did leave out the interior wind break walls. Will make the roof sign next.

Train 22 East 10/5/19. Naked Ladies still going strong.

Fall colors at the entrance to Table Mountain cut.
