Sunday Drive: Atascadero Lake Park - Summer 1955

After all their years of camping around the West, Mother and Dad had a mental list of a succession of free places to stay up and down the length of California. The oak-shaded parking lot of the Atascadero Lake Park was a favorite.

  1. Plus it had the added benefit of being the location of the Atascadero State Hospital for the Criminally Insane. That's what it used to be called, now its probably called Morally Challenged in an Illegal Sort of Way. All the scariest convicts went there. If there was a free tour of the facility, Dad would have found it.
