Yes.  No, We are not going to post them.  Celebrate the great job by Josh and company and most, Todd Eckenrode, who diligently pursued this job and is continuing to help Orinda get back to where it should be: Watson's best in the Bay Area next to the NLE Olympic-Ocean.

Tommy,
I keep a collection of architect's different bunker designs/styles and use them in presentations.  I have them for most of the early architect's and as you probably know I have some from Watson (think you actually sent me some years ago).  No worries about not posting.  I get out that way often and know a member there.  Just thought I would ask.  Hope you are doing well.

Does anyone know if Lynn Shackelford was in the Bay Area recently?  Note the (missing) oak on the back right of #8 that fell two weeks ago.

Kevin, the aerials are helpful.  No doubt many trees were removed and it is now better.  From the pictures posted(I haven't been there), I still contend more trees need to be removed.  I realize I am a bit more radical than most on this subject.


Sorry Tommy, I always get Watson mixed up with that former SF Giant center fielder. ;D


Lynn,


I found the tour quite enjoyable, but also came away feeling more trees should be removed.
