Yes, Mt. Soledad is still a memorial. You'll also want to visit the MIDWAY Museum. Woth googling.

To the OP~ Are you planning on renting a bike, while here?

If so, BIGG's Harley Davidson has a rental program. They're about 15 miles from Oceanside.

Have you visited Oceanside before? There are literally hundreds of miles of world class motorcycle roads very near O'side.

Palomar Mountain is 45 miles from the beach in Oceanside.

If you are interested in motocross racing, we have Pala Raceway that just re-opened. It's on the way to Palomar Mtn.

I rode 130 miles today, on these roads. Temperature along the beach? 75F. Temperature inland? 82F. Temperature in the San Diego desert? 90F. Haven't seen rain for a few weeks now, sure need the water! No rain next 8 days (so far.)

If you do plan to ride a bike here, I can give you a list of roads that are fit for motorcycles, if you wish.

I will be renting a bike, thanks for the tip with Biggs. I would really appreciate any good riding roads you can suggest.

I am jealous of your weather!
