How long does it take to get to Santa Cruz from the High School

For those who went to Los Gatos High School, there came a time in the Spring where it was just too nice to sit through class. And you'd race to the beach, dip your feet in, laugh & then drive back before anyone missed you.

Back then, there wasn't the amount of traffic all the live long day that there is now.

So, we'd get from the lower parking lot to the "free" parking along the side street in 23 minutes. At night, we'd get there faster.

The free parking is along 3rd Avenue almost all the way to Riverside. It was a sandy area that we all piled our cars into. Now they've paved it over and put in parking meters.
