4. I'm guessing that that compound could be Julia Morgans...
Asilomar

In 1912 Phoebe Apperson Hearst donated thirty acres of coastline at Pacific Grove (near Monterey) for the site of a YWCA summer conference center. She also recommended Julia Morgan as the architect. (This
commission initiated the connection with the YWCA which lasted throughout her career.) As a result of a contest among YWCA members, the name "Asilomar" was chosen--the joining of two Spanish words meaning a "refuge by the sea."

Just a guess :shrug:

5. It's not Asilomar
That's Pescadero Point, at the top of Carmel Bay. Asilomar's up the coast a few miles, on the outskirts of Pacific Grove between Point Joe and Point Pinos.

The road behind the building is Cabrillo Road, but that's as far as I can get with it. :shrug:

7. LOL, that was my best shot...
This old dumb draftee can say with some authority it's not Fort Ord, either. ;)

8. It's kinda hard to ID stuff in that area
since Pebble Beachies tend to be rather secretive.

At first I thought the multi-story building in the forest was Robert Louis Stevenson School, but it's farther north than that.

11. it IS a cool website.
one of my absolute favourites. I wished we had one of those for every coastline. Can you imagine how cool Africa's would be. Hey, I wonder if I could get a grant for something like that?

10. No idea...
but if you drift south about 2 1/2 blocks and if you could see behind the cedar tree, I'm waving from my house! :hi:
