the police actually will usually act as guides- part of their responsibility. they will see you to the border and see you off on the right track.

this photo brings back .. memories ..

in the late 70's myself and 3 other "mystic brethren" went to a football match at the stadium ...
only we wern't in the stadium

we were in those hills stretched out on a couple of branches like hammocks .. smoking "big-heads"

Sinco - I believe that's Mountain View behind the arena. What's the name of those hills?

I drove around that area with my kids for the first time last summer, when we went to see Miss Lou in state at the arena. It has a very peaceful quality to it, that neighbourhood, though I had heard it was somewhat violent.

PattyWatty, lovely photos of Kingston and radii north, south, east and west of center on top, at the Pegasus.

In the 60s all that land in the New Kingston area was grasslands spotched with a few trees and no buildings. My friends and I who lived down the Half Way Tree Road cycled on the footpaths that looked like a spiders web on the vast lands that stretched from Oxford Rd. to the south next to the Pegasus, up to Trafalgar Rd. to the north. Acres and acres of land. </div></div>

Q -

Isn't this where the race track used to be (Knutsford Park Racing)?

We started off heading up to Santa Cruz. After a VERY quick bite to eat, we were on our way to Mandeville. </div></div>
do you remember where in Santa Cruz you stopped to eat? that's my hometown.

your Kingston pics are making me incredibly homesick.

I'm sorry mountaingal - I'm not sure. I want to say Mother's but I really can't remember...
