Hi Bill,

I like the looks of the topograhy at "your" location, but those roads
aren't on the Auto Club map. 

Dick said " These streets show on the AAA Los Angeles & Orange
Counties and Vicinity map.
The QTH is easy to find."

Well, easy to find if there are tall towers :-)

Mike, while you're playing, there's a saddle about a mile south of
"my" location that might be pretty nice, too. I'll settle for a guest
house there, as the finder's fee :-)

73, Paul
