Quite a famous California landmark. That's Casa Grande - the estate of
the lateWilliam Randolph Hearst. See this link for more info:
http://www.pashnit.com/roads/cal/Hearst.htm It's quite a place. I was
raised in near there and have been there many times. If you ever get to that
part of California it's a must-see.

Yes.. there are two sites in FS8.. and you say that FS9 is fixed and
has only ONE site? If so.. it demonstrates the error in FS8. Have a
new screen cap from approach into San Luis..

but not sure which one is correct? the north site (1) of south (2)?
above place_A.jpg is the north location.
