The old 101 ran along the west edge of Mathews and is now the campus
for the university. On I-5 you can still see parts of the old pistol
range on the east side of the road. I stopped there about 10-15 years
ago, jumped the fence and took a walk with my camera. Ended up spending
a couple hours wandering around the old camp remembering my time there
as a kid, then as a recruit, then as a shooting competitor, and then as
a DI. I did a short photo pstory called "The Ghosts of Camp Matthews".
too bad it has drifted into the vague mists of time along with old
Peaks Airport that was very near the site of one of the hotels on PCH
and almost at the mouth of the old Cudahy Slough.
Yep, I'm gettin older by the day!
