True. Back then the Snow Birds didn't flock here as much. We're high desert and still get the cold and snow, but there are several more RV parks here now so the Winter months are still considered the tourist season. When I was stationed here in 1970, the Summer tourists didn't stay locally so when we went to the Crystal Palace on the weekend nights there were only locals in the bar.

Plus he was a movie technical advisor in Hollywood!
