Pic of the parking lot at the Ventura County Fairgrounds, where loyalty-cardholding members of the Players Casino can flash said card and park free instead of paying ten bucks. There's a beach festival near there tomorrow and Labor Day (it's called Aloha Fest), so this info might prove useful.
Oh right, there's also some kind of car show going on at the Ventura County Fairgrounds; will be seeking more info.
Train window kind of cloudy as usual, but this is a pic of a spot just north of the Ventura station, where another small body of water (further research needed here too) meets the ocean.
People waving at train from a perch atop some beachside ruins in a under-traveled spot a mile+ north of VCE station, which they have clearly accessed via rental eBikes, all commendable.
Purchase of 10-trip GTA (hm, Goleta ) <——> SIM ticket also still worked: $50, good for 60 days (ie until the Tuesday before Election Day. Plotting a few more LAX-area visits by then.) Now on 2nd can o Guinness. Obligatory #Pixel3 pics from btwn SBA & VEC, as train goes to parts of coast cars cannot.
