Salinas is not exactly on > the beaten path, but it's not too hard to get to. I read "the beaten path" has been drastically and suddenly redefined by GPS the day before yesterday. People are far less afraid of never been seen again trying to get an apple orchard on the other side of the hill. Which I guess in the old days used to happen all the time. First you run out of gas. I'd love a camera which told me where I was in the world. I guess they have them now. There was even a Sigma point and shoot a few years back I saw where you press a button and it starts giving you a tour guide description of where you happen to be. Had a huge database built in. or maybe it grabbed it off a satellite. Mark William Rabiner
