Too Bad

I was fooling around with maps last night and found a nifty site, HistoricAerials, with lots of historical aerial photos, at least of the San Diego area. Lots of fun!

I was also over at the Abandoned & Little Known Airfields site. Love that place! Remember the blimp field at Del Mar? I always intended to figure out a way to visit what was left of it, a circular ring next to the freeway.

I could swear I saw blimps flying around when I was a kid, but that field stopped flying them before I was born, so they must have been from Tustin or someplace. Or I dreamed about them.

I looked at Geocaching.com to see if there were any caches there, especially related to the blimp field. I found out that the whole place is now a sewage pond! So I will never get to visit it, now. But the little bridge to the field is supposed to be preserved, so maybe I'll have to settle, as it were, for that!
