I lived just south of there (10 miles) in a little town called Lompoc for seven years when we were designing and building the Space Shuttle launch pad at Vandenberg AFB - 1984 to 1991. I still travel there occasionally for business. A couple of points of interest - the point off Vandenberg is called Honda Point where the largest peace time Navy disaster occurred; nine Navy destroyers were run aground and seven lost in 1923. Just North of there is Morro Bay where some stupid lady was swimming with the seals and a great white shark got her; Darwin awardee. There are a lot of wineries around that area and a great weekend tour; heck every weekend..... The food in that area is spectacular; that is what I miss....
Lompoc is the flower capital in the US; Burpee raises their seeds there in the fields to the West of Lompoc. I think he is in for an environmental shock - Lompoc gets cold and foggy much of the year as it is exposed to those Pacific weather patterns being out on that jut of land into that cold pacific ocean.He works in Santa Maria. lived there til he got his bearings, Recently moved to Lompoc, said the rents are cheaper. Saw pictures when he came home in December. Nice area, mountains and the ocean right by him. He said he loves the drive each day from Lompoc to SM. Picturesque. and near 80 degrees every day.
Ok. It only took me 20 hours to get it.
