Jan 24th. We packed our lunch today again and left about 11 oclock for Long Beach and Sunset Cliffs. on the way Madge took a snap of me driving down the hill on Kalmia St. I drove down in low gear. with the brake nearly all the way on. we eat our dinner at Sunset Cliffs and then walked around on the cliffs and the rocks taking some pictures of the rustic bridges and the ocean and rocks back on the hills from the water. A Mills by name one of the biggest real estate coy's here have it all laid out in streets with cement. roads. electric lights etc. a lady said a lot was worth about $4,000. we drove up one of the roads and across the top of the hill and the view is certainly fine on the way back we stopped at Ocean Beach to hunt a few shells.
