Here Dave and I are at the Signal Hill Hilltop Park standing on top a thin layer of earth under which is their unseen water source - a buried 1.2 million gallon reservoir of water. Oil pumping rigs are sprinkled throughout Long Beach which was once one of the world's richest oil fields. At that time, Signal Hill was covered with so many oil towers that it was nicknamed "Porcupine Hill." Photos and info about the park.
That was just one cool part of our trip to visit Jen, Patrick, Dustin, and their pets, Noah, Roscoe and Jack. Besides picnicking by the ocean in San Pedro, eating lots of Jen's yummy cooking, seeing the doctor's office Patrick artistically converted into Star Ship Enterprise, helping Jen make prop returns, observing the sea life and lorikeets at the Pacific Aquarium, and enjoying the wildlife during our hike at the nearby lagoon, we soaked in some California sun and ate some tangerines from Jen's backyard tree. I'm looking forward to our next trip there - needless to say!
