That is some pretty cool stuff. My dad grew up a mile from the coast in Santa Cruz. Straight out of H.S. he went into the navy for 20 years. He loved the ocean.

Even walked the parapet with a death grip on the railing the whole way around. Last one was the Key West light.

Goddard Mansion? Is it somehow related to the Goddard University? Any info about why it has not had a Committee to restore it over the years? Trees and bushes growing inside? Since I was 6 weeks old in 1960, I have lived in and/or around the Seattle area. If you ever get a chance to come this way, check out Fort Casey State Park on Whidby Island and/or Fort Warden State Park in Port Townsend, WA. Huge defense to the gates of Puget Sound, back in the day. Used to sail from Seattle on a friend's yacht to the Port Townsend Jazz Festival every year. One weekend, the yacht next to us failed to set his hooks (anchors) properly, at low tide. Tide came up, pulled the hooks loose, swung around and damaged our boats. Same weekend? Up on top deck, watching two rafted (tied together) yachts, floating freely toward the shipping lanes in the Straights of Juan De Fuca. Not a person on board. Hey, Captain, take a look at this one. He called the Harbor Master, who called the Coast Guard, who towed the 2 yachts back to shore, displaced the Tour Boat (The Victoria Clipper) from Port Townsend/British Columbia, Canada Ferry out offshore, until they could locate the yacht owners. Ahhh, the memories.
