Buena Vista Pool Re-Revisited
When I was back in Santa Cruz in late September, I had a late night “top secret” call that the legendary Buena Vista pool was dug out again and was off limits until they were running a permission contest on the land, agreed by the owner because he heard he could make some money from this event, and then he would fill ‘er in the next day – forever….
