I have witnessed this accident in 2003 at Oxnard.
I gave a report to the policewoman.
Of course, I didn't forget to snap a few shots.
Please drive careful.
Eucalyptus trees in Ventura County first came from Australia. They were first introduced around 1850 by Australians who came to find gold in California (California Gold Rush). These trees are vital part in Ventura County's history. Without them, Ventura County would be quite different.
Eucalyptus Trees in Camarillo, a landmark in Ventura County
In the 1870's, Ellwood Cooper came to Santa Barbara. He took a special interest in Australian Eucalyptus already growing in Santa Barbara area. He planted thousands of Eucalyptus trees in his nursery. He even visited Tasmania to study Eucalyptus trees. Ellwood Cooper is one of the earliest person who commercially sold Australian Eucalyptus trees in this area. He also served as a US senator. He is credited for revitalizing Bakersfield.
In the early days in Oxnard, James Saviers and his wife Mattie started a ranch in Rancho La Colonia. He was discouraged by hot dry wind destroying sugar beets. He bought thousands of Eucalyptus trees and planted along the property lines as windbreakers. He also sold hundreds of eucalyptus trees to the neighbors in Ventura County. Without these windbreakers, oxnard couldn't have succeeded in growing sugar beets and other vegetation. Saviers street in Oxnard is named after James Saviers.
The land Mr. Ellwood Cooper once owned is now called Ellwood Mesa. Some people tried to build luxury town houses there. After a lot of campagning and donations, Ellwood Mesa is now owned by city of Goleta. Ellwood Mesa will be forever protected.

Something must have happened.

I hope nobody was hurt.
If anyone knows what happened, please let me know.

I got to get off work early :)
They had good food.
I don't know why, but I am obsessed with this building.
I don't bowl. I just like this building.
Camarillo Bowl has an old fashion look.
It looks like Lieutenant Columbo will walk out from it.
Sorry about the low quality images.
I took these pictures with a film camera a few years back.
It was a bad time to take pictures.
Sun was low and direct
And it was really hazy.
On top of it, the scan came out bad.
This is McDonald’s at Las Posas near 101 freeway.
As you can see, there is no hotel next to McDonald’s, but there is an empty dirt ground.
Camarillo is getting bigger all the time.
Old Town Camarillo, 2001.
Notice, there are no traffic lights and gardrail.
This is before Arneill overpass
It almost looks empty.
Marry Christmas~!
Simi Valley Town Center was open for Christmas Season of 2005.
This place is amazing. You must go there and shop.
You don't have to buy anything, just go and enjoy the view.
It's almost like Universal City Walk, except, people from Ventura County have class (no offence to LA people).
