One Poet's Perspective by Jane Elsdon
It was in 1965 that I made my first trip to Central California and experienced my own personal adventures in the Oceano dunes, along with a good friend whose family owned a tiny cottage just off the Strand then. It was there we met Bert Schievink, well known as the hermit of the dunes. He and I hit it off right away and we exchanged letters after I returned to my southern California home in Riverside. Whenever we made a trip northward we hiked out to see Bert. In 1971 we moved to Atascadero. Read More

Shutterbugs, Featuring Alice Cahill
As a young child I drew constantly - mostly horses. Like many young girls I was horse crazy. Alas, I never had a real horse, so I had to content myself playing horses with my imaginary playmate DAH. Until I was almost eleven I lived out in the country on an orange grove. I can still recall the feeling of the rich, brown earth between my toes as I ran up and down the furrows between the rows of orange trees. Read More
