Off today as my wife and I went with a group from work to the Hearst Castle in San Simeon, CA. The state runs the castle as a large tourist attraction now, but once owned by William Randolph Hearst in his day. He also owned the land which is now the base where I work and even built a Hacienda (hunting lodge)that my boss and base commander currently lives in one end (4500 SF of the lodge…). I do not think Hearst built anything small. With our connection in proximity and history we were able to receive a tour from the museum curator for a 5 hour behind the scenes tour. simply awesome both the tour and the weather not a cloud in the sky and 70+F…
