Just my 2c on your story. My Grandfather ran the prison road crew that built that road. My dad and his brother all grew up with the prisoners as friends. The guys got 2 days credit on their sentence for every day they worked on the crew. My Grandmother was the cook for the prisoners. Dad was born in Encinitas and graduated from Escondido High in 1951 and after I was born in Sandy Eggo in 1964 he had the sense to leave SoCal. When my Grandmother passed away in 1988, a cousin of mine found all the paper work from the road crew in her possession and donated it to the Palomar Observatory Museum where it resides today. Included was the name of every prisoner who ever worked on the road crew. Pretty cool stuff. Type 3 content: The first time I drove a type 3 to SoCal (a 1963 Notchback in 1986) I drove up to the observatory with my 86 year old Grandmother. It had to be the best Type 3 experience in my life.
