Bill,

I'm pretty sure you intended 34° 2.8' N to be the latitude rather than 35° 2.8' N.  Now go to street view Google map to find the pub on PCH. The height of eye is only an estimate. The curious may even do a YouTube search for video.

Nice touch on the Zebra Pen with the triangular rubber slip on.

"Nelson's blood" (aka Pusser's rum?

My best guess, Los Angeles County, on Rt 1/E. Pacific Coast Highway,
just east or near Mulholland Hwy. Perhaps by Leo Carillo State Park.
Precisely I get 35d 02!8 N and 118d 56!7 which is a half mile west of
the Beach. Problem is the road elevation there is 93 feet.

Guess limited by camera input. Data Used: Dec 2d 01!7, GHA 211d 30!0,
dip -6.9, refraction -48!8. Hc -58!8.

I base this on connecting the dots from time sights at 40N 124 W and 33N
117W then doing a few successive approximations. Followed by a look at
Google Earth to find elevations on Rt 1 (my guess of where a bus would
travel) that would be 50 ft minus height of eye of your mach one eyeball
above the pavement.

Have not double checked my work, but wanted be the first to hit the
buzzer on "Where is Greg" for $200.

BTW did your Zebra pen with Fisher Space Pen refill. Very nice. In terms
of grips I located some triangular soft rubber "pencil grips" that I
used on Xacto knives in the pre DTP times. Kept them from rolling down
the drawing board and into my foot (or worse)and were quite comfortable
to boot. Xacto later figured that out and added a polygon piece to the top.
