    I've been to Irvine a couple of times on company business when we lived in San Diego county. My husband said he really loved the park he knew as Irvine Ranch when he was young. I am guessing it is Irvine Regional now.

    I don't believe I've even been to Irvine. I live in Fort Bragg on the Mendocino Coast of Northern California. You have a lot of attractions that would be fun to visit. Thanks for sharing. Bear hugs, Frankster

    As a kids My neighbors would invite me along to Irvine Lake. I always remember that as a nice sunny place. It was mostly dirt and rocks in the early 1960's, orange groves too. I do not get down to that direction very much, now. Too much traffic.

    Great cap off to your Southern California lenses. It looks like you've taken some great photos of the park.

    I think this series is definitely worthy of being featured on the ExSquidition Travel Journal. For a guest post, all that I require is 200 words or more per link. If you could use the contact button on my lensmaster profile once it's complete, I can review and post immediately. Thanks for your interest!
