Flybowl was up off of painted cave road...had a huge boulder in the middle that you had to carve around and if you fell, watch out, the base of the rock was littered with broken glass...gnarly! we used to skate the T-bowls in the early to late 80's...very fun...we used to call the lower bowl the Moon Bowl for all the craters from dynamite and plant erosion. very fun. the Upper bowl we called the concussion bowl...hairy to say the least. We all knew it as the Tea Gardens as well, but for skaters it was always the T-Bowls. When Skating home we'd make our way across mountain drive past cold springs and hot springs and then straight down Picacho Lane and sesh slide all the way down. Fun Days!

On The Unusual History of the Tea Fire’s Point of Origin

LasBrisas comment right off the bat is so indicative of an attitude that is plain backwards and completely missing the point..putting more vehicles on the streets is whats gonna make accidents more pervasive...Yes, lets all buy more gas powered vehicles, thus crowding the roadways even more, and creating more pollution, thats intelligent thinking and planning,...and then the assumption that everyone can afford a vehicle. maybe this guy bikes to work to do his part for the environment...maybe I am misreading LasBrisas but according to that attitude it must be the bicyclists fault because he didn't get with the program and buy a motorcycle. I would go the other way...maybe the driver of the Nissan should have sold his vehicle and gotten a bicycle... less gas consuming, pollution producing vehicles on the road = less serious injury accidents.
