June 1971 Graduation Trip

Me Jim Anderson and Otis

1967 Mustang convertible Baby Blur  289 automatic

We weree delighted to be out of high school and decided to take a road trip to Los Angeles area

The goal was to hit the warm beaches  and party. we had no place in particular or firends down ther eto hang out with . I had about $40 and each of the others had about the same.  but this was pre credit card and a weekend. (no banking)

When we got to Sata Barbara we went tothe beach and  I decided to go for a swim. We had been smoking pot the entire trip down so I was definitley intoxicated.  I ran and jumped into the ocean. Nice warm salty water. I had not changed clothes so  I jumped in fully clothed and  when I got out  my wallet was gone. I had the Going home money in my wallet and that was gone.

THis reality had a sobering effect since we wer a little less than half way and so we all dug into our pockets and collected about $8.00
