Today I took one last pedal out to the southern tip of Point Loma before having Larry box up my bike for the airlines. The point is an excellent source of diversity in both geography(many challenging hills) and industry. It has both an anti-submarine base and a submarine base, a national monument, a university, oceanographic research fleet, naval research headquarters, home to a dolphin school training the guard dogs of the Navy, one of the worlds largest sportfishing fleets, and Marine recruting base at the north end and National cemetery at the south with veterans who fought in wars from 1846 to the current Iraq war. Always a great place to get lost in a ride and our final destination from our start in Vancouver B.C. next week.

Paying respects to Brian, the first casuality of the Iraq war and a former grade school classmate of my daughter Jenny.
