Man....what a trip down the lane.

I'd like to take some of those pics and go drive around Pismo and Oceano and see how things have changed....

This slide show might belong in the AMA somehow/somewhere?? Such a piece of history...

Wow that was awesome. If that's BC Greene's family photo album I'm very jealous. How much fun did they have? Tons!

I could be in the background in some of those photos, like Pismo (mid-to-late 60s camping with parents), late 60s and early 70's at El Mirage (where my ashes will be scattered), and 71 start of the B to V.

Priceless photos and history-in-the-making! The Greeves, the English anchors, the Yamahas, the shop that could have been most shops of that era. Nostalgia is a great
