This weekend we drove up to Santa Maria, to meet Brian's family for the Annual Ron Otto Memorial Race (Brian's Great Uncle) We always enjoy this weekend trip and have tons of fun watching the races. On our way home we visited James Dean's crash site, memorial, and last stop spot before the crash. This was really neat for us and me (Sara) because I'm a huge James Dean fan! (We've been to Jimmy's home town and grave twice too!) Enjoy the pictures!
Us at the speedway
James Dean's Memorial...it's about 900 yards from the crash site.
To the side is the intersection where the crash happened.
55 years ago on September 30.
A better picture of me at the intersection.
Jimmys last stop before the crash, it was called Blackwell's Corner, it was like a mini deli mart type thing then...but it burnt down in the 60's I think.
On our way home we stopped in Burbank for some Bob's Big Boy for Lunner!
