Primo hang gliding/paragliding site. There's a Torrey Pines City Park, a Torrey Pines State Reserve (interesting hiking), a Torrey Pines City Beach, and a Torrey Pines State Beach. Cliffs too. And a golf course. All of these are adjacent/continguous. I've hiked in the reserve (neat cliffs) but haven't been to the paragliding site. Maybe Dan Rubesh knows more about the area? -- Anne - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - * | * * Anne Rock | Oh Lord, let the words I speak today * * rock@netcom.com | be sweet, for tomorrow I may have to * * Berkeley, CA | eat them. * * | - sign in a Honduran cafe * - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = Date: Tue, 9 Nov 1993 12:14:07 -1000 From: steveth@netcom.com (Steve Thomas) Message-Id: Organization: VisionAire, San Francisco, CA Subject: Torrey Pines (was: Re: New kite store in Cambridge, Massachusetts) In article <1993Nov9.164240.28742@das.harvard.edu> sasaki@netop3.harvard.edu (Marty Sasaki) writes: > >As a side note, the UP Sports kite extravaganza, held on Manhattan >Beach, CA on July 4th, will be moving to Torrey Pines.

Anne's description of the Torrey Pines area is right on, except for the omission of perhaps the most famous part of the area.. Black's Beach.. At least that's what I've been told.. Of course, _I_ never visited that infamous beach m'self.. :-) :-) 8-) P-) Sounds like I'll have to reserve the July 4th spot on the calendar for Torrey Pines.. - - - - - - - - - - - - - Good Winds and Tight Lines!
