The @ocparks maintains a four acre local history site in Lake Forrest, CA. The rangers interpret “four fully restored and furnished historic buildings that span the early history of the Saddleback Valley and El Toro area from the Mexican Rancho era (Serrano Adobe, circa 1863), to the founding of the town of El Toro (El Toro Grammar School, 1890; St. George’s Episcopal Mission, 1891), through the citrus farming days of the early twentieth century (Harvey Bennett Ranch House, 1908).”
They offer guided #tours and seasonal events for the community. Visit 25151 Serrano Road Lake Forest, CA 92630-2534. Contact (949)923-2230 or [email protected].

Ronald Reagan Presidential Library and Museum has an impressive site. Instead of a typical orientation film, you will be inpressed by the museum’s Reagan #hologram. We viewed the ranch narrative. “The Tack Room at Rancho del Cielo – President #Reagan has just returned from a #horseback ride and he talks to us about the Ranch and how it helps him to balance the pressures of the Oval Office, and then tells us a little about his ideas on #freedom.”
While you visit, be sure to visit the archive. #October is the designated month for American archives. “As a Presidential Library administered by the National Archives and Records Administration (#NARA), the Reagan Library, under the authority of the Presidential Records Act, is the repository of presidential records for President Reagan’s administration.

We love exploring Steinbeck’s Monterey, CA. His literary masterpiece, Cannery Row, often refers to historic sites and characters based on real individuals.
“Hazel’s mind was like wandering alone in a deserted museum. Hazel’s mind was choked with with uncatalogued exhibits. He never forgot anything but he never bothered to arrange his memories.” –Cannery Row, John Steinbeck @steinbeckcenter

What does one do when you #fly domestically or internationally from San Francisco #Airport? We suggest that you spent time in the @SFOMuseum that is exhibited in the International Main Hall and Terminals.

We personally spent extended time in The Modern Consumer: 1950s Products and Style. You will find that they are displaying interesting artifacts and ephemera that showcase this age in consumer buying practices. This is well documented in Lizabeth Cohen’s A Consumers’ Republic: The Politics of Mass Consumption in Postwar. Read our fieldnotes at 70degrees.org/sfo-museum.
let’s make sure our grandchildren get to see this, too “As far as eating is concerned, humans are the most stupid animals on the planet. We kill billions of wild animals to protect the animals that we eat. We are destroying our environment to feed to the animals we eat. We spend more time, money and resources fattening up the animals that we eat, than we do feeding humans who are dying of hunger. The greatest irony is that after all the expenses of raising these animals, we eat them; and they kill us slowly. And rather than recognize this madness, we torture and murder millions of other animals trying to find cures to diseases caused by eating animals in the first place.” Mike Anderson
