I know some of the people who donated the pictures and they really brought back good memories of my growing up years. Love the history also as there was some history that I was not aware of. I lived there from the time I was a year old until I turned 19. Thank you for sharing and renewing my fond memories. I visit La Honda every chance I get. If I could afford it I would still be there to this day and I am 61 years old now. It was such a wonderful place to grow up.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful.

A brilliant; time-traveling escapeBy Nina MooreI bought this book on a whim while at the San Gregorio General Store; and devoured it before the band finished its last set. Chock-full of eccentric trivia that beautifully encompasses the spirit of La Honda!I absolutely loved it!
