Have any of you been to Nitt Witt Ridge in Cambria, CA? Interesting place.

I was in Cambria in June. I didn't see that. Where is it located? Is that the backside view from the ocean?

It's just above Main Street in "locals" end of town. At least that's how it was when I lived around there.
Art Beal built it out of found items. He has since passed away. It now is a Historic Landmark and will be preserved.
I got to go inside once!

I'm sorry I missed it! We were on the locals end of town. I loved Cambria. It was such a neat little place.

Here are pictures I took of the Cambria dog park. (Ignore the dates on the picture. It was one of our first days and I didn't realize the date feature was turned on and four years off.)

Sweet. No dog park when I lived there. I actually lived on 89 acres out the back road of town. My PO Box was there.

Yes. I took my grandson there several years ago. We paid for the "tour." It was fascinating. Is it still open?

When I went in, Art Beal (the man who built it) still lived there. He personally invited us in and gave us a tour. That was before there were "tours", but people used to drive by his place all the time.
He used to walk around town. Everyone knew him. So, if you saw him walking, you might just stop and give him a ride! That's what I did a few times!
It seems like a lifetime ago.

Yes, regarding Nitt Witt Ridge . . . we passed by and saw the house, then saw him and a handmade "tour" sign . . . I think the tour was $5 . . . he took us through the house and yards. I have some pictures and if I ever get around to it, will post them.

Art was quite a charactor. He died more than 20 years ago and was 96 when he died!! He didn't give tours when I lived there. But may have later on. I think another man and woman bought it. They used to give tours, sometimes. But, that was after my time.
