Next, it was up to CIA hill.

  • If you've gotta lean one way or the other, lean away from the water!
  • Looks like we are going to have a nice sunset.

  • Beneath us is a large underwater cave, with a bottom about 90 feet or so down. If you are curious as to where this is, click on the little "i in the circle" icon, then on "Map."
  • Because the cave is open to the ocean, the water level rises and falls. When waves are large, the action in this hole can be downright mesmerizing. During calm times, Spotlight Cave is a popular boat dive.

  • The land form here is all old, weathered coral.

  • From what I hear, this is supposedly a boat which belonged to Larry Hillblom. He is the "H" in DHL, the courier service. For more, follow this link:<br /> <br /> <a href="http://dna-view.com/hillblom.htm">http://dna-view.com/hillblom.htm</a>
  • There used to be a dude ranch up here. I think that this building was one of the guest quarters.
  • I believe that this used to be the entrance to the dude ranch. It is now entrance to the local motorcycle raceway.
  • Next, it was up to CIA hill.
  • CIA Hill is so called because the CIA installed this radar to track satellites launched from communist countries.
