  • Discover California State Parks in the Monterey Area
    Crashing waves, redwoods and historic sites Discover California State Parks in the Monterey Area Some of the most beautiful sights in California can be found in Monterey area California State Parks. Rocky cliffs, crashing waves, redwood trees, and historic sites are within an easy drive of each other. "When you look at the diversity of state parks within the Monterey District area, you begin to realize that there is something for everyone - recreational activities, scenic beauty, natural and cultural history sites, and educational programs,” said Dave Schaechtele, State Parks Monterey District Public Information Officer. “There are great places to have fun with families and friends, and peaceful and inspirational settings that are sure to bring out the poet, writer, photographer, or artist in you. Some people return to their favorite state parks, year-after-year, while others venture out and discover some new and wonderful places that are then added to their 'favorites' list." State Parks in the area include: Limekiln State Park, 54 miles south of Carmel off Highway One and two miles south of the town of Lucia, features vistas of the Big Sur coast, redwoods, and the remains of historic limekilns. The Rockland Lime and Lumber Company built these rock and steel furnaces in 1887 to cook the limestone mined from the canyon walls. The 711-acre park allows visitors an opportunity to enjoy the atmosphere of Big Sur’s southern coast. The park has the only safe access to the shoreline along this section of cast. For reservations at the park’s 36 campsites, call ReserveAmerica at (800) 444- PARK (7275).

  • PT. SUR NAVAL FACILITY, PT. SUR, CA: a BRIEF HISTORY February 8, 2010
    PT. SUR NAVAL FACILITY, PT. SUR, CA: A BRIEF HISTORY February 8, 2010 The Significance of the Point Sur Naval Facility. According to the dictionary, significance is “the quality of being important.” In the field of historic preservation the word has a special meaning. Assessing significance involves determining the importance of a historic resource, whether a building, site, or something else, within the broad sweep of history. To do this, the resource must be placed into a historic context. A historic context is a backdrop within which a historic resource can be viewed. One cannot look at a building in a vacuum, it must be looked at in the broader context within which it exists. From this historic context, the relative importance of a resource can be determined. Point Sur’s Role in the Winning of the Cold War. During the Cold War as the Soviet Union rapidly built-up its submarine force, U.S. antisubmarine warfare took on a growing significance. One critical American development was pioneering detection of low frequency submarine sound propagation in the sea. This led to development of the Sound Surveillance System (SOSUS), which were employed at Naval Facilities (NAVFACs) across the globe. SOSUS greatly assisted the U.S. in maintaining its dominance in anti-submarine warfare, and was critical to American efforts to win the Cold War. Established in 1957, the Pt. Sur NAVFAC is one of the few remaining complete Naval Facilities, and the only one remaining on the west coast. While other Naval Facilities were parts of larger military complexes, Pt. Sur was established as a stand-alone, self-sufficient base.
