Space launches and missile testing is its current assignment. The Pacific Coast Highway passes right through the land belonging the base, passing right by its entrance. We had seen parts of it while taking Amtrak up to Seattle from Los Angeles, and this time wanted to see what the drive would be like. It's mostly 4 lane divided highway north of the base, with it changing to a 2 lane hilly road south of Lompoc. There is hardly any traffic on the road and couldn't imagine there would be cops catching speeders. But later read that the highway's safety is indeed the responsibility of the CHP.

This originally topped one of the towers at the Danish Pavilion at San Francisco's 1915 Panama Pacific International Exposition. After the expo was over, the buildings were demolished and this wind harp was transported to its current location in Solvang. It plays peaceful music when the wind blows but it's not something I would go out of my way to visit. I was in, took a couple pictures, and left within minutes.

Hidden up in the hills above Santa Barbara lies a sandstone cave used by the Chumash for possibly…read moreup to 1000 years. Now part of the California State Park system, it holds artwork created by the Chumash to depict important cultural concepts and themes. Protected by a gate, the Painted Cave can be visited dawn to dusk. Admission is free. Very limited parking on the narrow, curvy, mountainous road. Definitely worth the trip to see this beautiful site.

We stopped here on the way to the Cold Springs Tavern. The GPS takes you to a turn out where you…read morecan safely park and then walk up the hill. Painted Cave road is very narrow so if you pull over in front of the cave you will block others. There's a short climb to the cave which is behind a fence to protect it from vandalism. You can take lots of pictures through the fence. Since it's such a short hike you may want to combine this with a trip to Knapp Castle about a mile up the road. Very beautiful historical site.

If you like finding unusual small treasures off the beaten paths then this place might be your cup of tea. It is certainly the only one of its kind -- in a small unassuming office building, the little museum probably houses the many pieces that make up the not so well known past of Santa Maria! Interesting antique furniture, items of past daily life, equipment of various trades.... are just some of the things you would find here. Musicians or music lovers may enjoy many of the old instruments on display. After visiting the many wineries, or, if you're not a wine person, a stop by this place may add some interesting aspects to your trip.

I've included what stood out to me historically and people that you are simply better off for knowing about their life and accomplishments with my photographs.
