For Tree68 <br /> <br />Yes, the California coast is beautiful. Back in the dark ages I was working over a well st the Point Concieption field at the south end of Vandenberg AFB. The AF used our field as a remote monitoring point when they would launch rockets. they would bring down 3-4 trailewrs of telemetry gear and set up. They hung one of the biggest diameter cables from the SP poles for their telemetry. One day while at the wilds of Point Concieption I drove inland to a small country store for lunch. Had to cross the SP coast line and saw a Fairmont speeder come by slowly carrying several people who were looking at the track and ROW. Picked up my lunch and when crossing the tracks to return I had to wait on a short passenger train to clear the crossing. The train had an open ventibule on the rear (corporate car?) and who was standing on it-Nikita Kruschev. Was within 20 feet of him and we exchanged waves.
