Tearing a Telephone Book in Half!
Like the relatively soft sedimentary layers of Ventura rock...
the pages of the telephone book are relatively easy to fold.
However, in this stressed position...
the layers are more easily 'broken' or torn.
Hold the book vertically and...
put a tight v-shaped fold in the pages.
Bring your palms upward keeping the knuckles together!
Mr R tearing the telephone book!

Padre Serra's Cross - Grant Park

Score 50pts for finding this viewpoint!
From Ventura Avenue east of Hwy 101
Take Ramona Avenue (south of Stanley) toward the hill.
It bend around and turns in Cedar Street (the base of the hill).
Near the top turn (go) left on Ferro Drive (keeping left at all choices).
If you miss Ferro, keep going as Cedar turns into Poli Street.
Turn left on Brakey Road and go up the narrow steep way!
If you get to the county courthouse, you've gone too far!
