Let's Not Allow a Toll Road Highway to Irrevocably Alter the San Onofre Experience
- "The San Mateo campground, one of two at this park, is tucked into an unspoiled, oak-lined river valley... I crept out of the van before sunrise the next morning, eager to surf in front of the former Nixon estate. I shared the mile-and-a-half-long chaparral-lined trail to the beach (it crosses under the freeway along the banks of San Mateo Creek) with scores of rabbits, an owl and a coyote. After an hour of flawless waves, I hiked back, spotting a bobcat and a covey of startled quail. San Onofre is Californias fifth-most-popular state park, but a proposed six-lane toll road would cross near the campground. If it is approved, opponents say, the landscape will be irrevocably altered." - excerpt from this New York Times article.
