There is this monument at the very end of Point Loma. The "Cabrillo" Monument is it's name. They have all these signs around the area with arrows pointing in the direction of the great monument. It must be some type of pilgrimage deal because what kind of people are hunting for this thing? Are signs really necessary? Well the signs did do one thing, they sparked my interest so I hopped on my bike and started to follow the signs.
I hate riding my bike near the road. I hate bikers who bike near the road. It's a lose lose situation. As an auto driver I can't understand why somebody would want to be so close to something that is flying by at 40 mph. As a bike rider I understand that one of these days I'm gonna get creamed.
I don't push myself very hard when I solo bike. I brought my camera and whenever I saw something picture worthy I'd snap a shot. Here's a shot of the Navy's secret watering hole above the ocean. 
They have this water here in case the ocean dries up.
I twisted along this road that heads to the Point of Point Loma. Apparently the monument is at the very end? I pedaled and pedaled up this hill and came up to a pay booth in the middle of the road. I checked out the sign in front of it and it costs three bucks to get in! What a rip. I didn't have money so I turned around. No monument to be seen today. But the whole way back was downhill so I pretended I was Rocky from the three ninjas and hit the curbs as jumps. That was pretty fun.
