TimeOut

No Hawk Today

 

After our own personal Memorial Day service, we decided to walk a bit on our old college campus (variously known as Balboa University, Cal Western, USIU, PLC, PLNC, etc.). We were last here in December, where I spun in circles filming a gloriously-cooperative hawk: Here is the LINK to that FILE if you want to see all the photos of the magnificent bird.

But since today was a school holiday (and graduation was 2 weeks ago), we just parked in the security lot and walked off with confidence, leaving windows down and doors unlocked.





As does the landscaping crew. This is near the campus entrance so gets a bit more care than the rest of the grounds.



This odd building is the campus administration building, a figurehead saved from 100 years ago. More on that later. We went down a sidewalk to the left, which quickly reverted to a dirt path.



which fed us into this impenetrable mass of foliage.



There were a few not-so-well-trodden paths. There's NO cell reception down here, so why would today's college students venture out here?



Could even be dangerous if you came here at night, or after a few beers.



I don't want to speculate, but this looks like a corset to me. Hmm - has it been here since Victorian times? I think not.
