Pt. Sur Article (continued)

Dave, the weblink you posted in your June 26 posting below did not work (missing a colon). The link below should work if anyone had problems finding the article:

The reference to the Pt. Sur submarine legend was interesting. I remember driving down to the River Inn in Big Sur (1971-73 time period) and hearing the stories OTs had made up about what we did at the base to cover up what we really did. Along with having missiles in the wooden water tanks up on the hill, the sub story was also circulating back then. (There were big underground doors that opened to the ocean, the subs came in, we pumped out the water, and then went down in an elevator to work on them!) We did have an imagination back then! ;-)

Here is the link to the actual 1971 Beck et al. book referenced in the "A 1971 Study" link in the last paragraph of the article:
