~ San Diego for a Weekend ~
~ What I Managed to See and Photo ~


Well... in 1952 I was assigned to Luke AF Base in Glendale, Arizona, near Phoenix... And a High School buddy, Frank was in the Navy in San Diego... So one weekend I drove out for a quick visit...

That is a good distance from Phoenix so it took most of a day to get there... So I really only had one day to look around before heading back...

And so I spent most of the day at the Beach and San Diego Harbor...

Not a real warm day on the beach... I can't remember what time of the year it was...

This stretch of beach rather deserted...

But there were a few hardy souls out in the Pacific surf...

And a few more... way out there waiting for a wave...

More activity in San Diego harbor... Fishing boats and some Navy ships...

The Naval Station at the far right...

Fishing boats and lots of gulls...

Is that a skiff... far left? and a lone fishing boat at anchor... And a freighter in the diatance...

Some more Navy ships at anchor and a lone gull on watch...

And a lone gull flying sky patrol...

An old Spanish lighthoue on Point Loma... Now a National Monument... And I never noticed til now... The man on the walkway on top...

The day waning and time for the long trip back to Phoenix... and my base...
