Great post Sue, for some reason I guess it was because you sent this, I remembered back to my one and only visit to CSUN in 2009 when we went to dinner with Mike, the sendero crowd, which also included you and Bob and Stevie! Then were fun times! Best, Jim

Bob had an appointment to do some training at UCLA today. A friend dropped him off at the dorms, and he left a few hours later via paratransit. There are only a few places where they will pick you up on campus, and of course in the wisdom of the bureaucrats who make such decisions, none of the stops are very close to the dorms. His pickup was to be at the flagpole near Royce Hall. I was able to see the flagpole using mapquest.com, and with a little mouse click, I could get its latitude and longitude. Voila, you just set that lat lon as your destination, use the getting warmer method, and after a little hike, you're there. This method does require a sighted guy who has access to a computer and the internet, but unless it's already a
public user POI or you've been there before, it is pretty cool! Sue SweetmanTo change your email settings (unsubscribe, digest only, or vacation mode):
