We do the OC for a week every summer. Not a fan, but looking forward to it this summer. Too crowded. Lame restaurants. Long drive.
However, get to ride the phattie at the beach:

The beaches are safe, but I like to walk around at night and we don't usually rent beachfront, so that means walking in the area in general.
Not all of us live where you do @rick81721

My son likes to draw on his iPad Pro.........
The actual photo he used as reference......
He‘s one of those creative people..... I can’t draw a stick figure.

Image of the entrance to Olympic Park, which was located in both Maplewood and Irvington, New Jersey, circa 1905.
The park opened on May 8, 1887 with a nine-pin skittle bowling alley, rifle range, swings, a dancing pavilion, and a saloon.
It was built and owned by John A. Becker, an affluent member of Newark’s German community. In 1904, mechanical rides were
added to complete with amusement areas like Coney Island. From the 1920s through the park's closing, it was owned by
the Guenther family. Over the years it expanded, new amusements were added, and structures built. It was once home to the
largest merry-go-round in the United States (later sold to Disney). The amusement park closed September 23, 1965. In 1979,
the land was converted into an industrial park

Seven Prez...no...too close to Neptune and Long Branch. I would guess OCNJ or 7 Mile Island. But there are lots of Eagles fans down there.
Nice day to fly - I spent about a half an hour in the air doing 3 landings, and 1 practice missed landing.
Wind was from the left with gusts that became a tail wind. video is of two of the landings.
1st one not on this vid is the best, 2nd was good but check out the 5 or maybe 7 bounces on the last!
They were small, so not a problem - if they get too big, the prop will hit.
I'm just figuring out the editing s/w - so it sucks. Plus i started at 4:30 this morning when i couldn't sleep.
can see the back of round valley. the sourland ridge. And the pass on rt 78 above chimney rock, and probably that lookout that Gen Washington used
Max altitude above ground is about 1,100' - takes less than 2 minutes to get there from start of takeoff.
I had some narrated video, but gopro studio doesn't know what to do with .mov files.
trying to locate a rattle while flying alone at pattern altitude is a bad idea. was making me nuts and i have an isolating headset on!

Katherine "Kate" Walker tended the Robbins Reef Lighthouse located off Constable Hook in Bayonne, New Jersey
in the Lower New York Bay, for over three decades. Her husband, Captain John Walker, who had been appointed
keeper of the light in 1885, passed away in 1890 from pneumonia. Katherine was appointed the official keeper of
the light by President Benjamin Harrison after his death. Despite the isolation and loneliness, she tended the light
by herself, raising two children, until 1919, when she retired at the age of 73. During her tenure at the lighthouse,
Kate recalled that she had rescued 50 people and one dog.
