Saturday 9-23-2006 my self and two friends went to Cambria via Cholame CA. We had a chance to visit James Dean memorial. His 51st death anniversary is on 30 Sep 2006, which is next Saturday. So this is our tribute to an American icon.

Hey, we did a run today that took us to the James Dean festival in Fairland, IN today I guess he grew up, in Fairland/Marion/Wabash IN area. Meet a woman at McDonalds this morning that graduated high school with him in 1949

 

Small world

 

I just read a story on Pashnit that went here. I haven't been yet, but will soon.

 

This is where he crashed. (About 900 yards east of the memorial)
