    Well the original name of the town was Coaling station A named by the Southern Pacific Railroad. Then they just shortened it to CoalingA.
    Sorry used to spend a lot of time around there, and it was not in the prison:D
    I have some really cool pictures of the 83 earthquake that destroyed the place but they are not digital.
    Sorry for the tangentheadscratch.gif

    I like the BW converstion. Do they still have the oil pumps that are decorated like insects?

    I used to work around the area a lot up until 1990. Would like to get back up to the top of Joaquin Ridge to get pictures of Three Rocks at sunrise.
    Happy Hunting
