Hi,
Some of the people on this list (ex-HP people, probably), may have had the
chance to go to "Little Basin", the private park owned by HP.  It was adjacent to the Big Basic state park, in the Santa Cruz mountains.

HP being HP, sold it off after the Compaq merger.   (It went to some land
conservation groups.)  It was later sold to the state, and merged with
Big Basin park (and connected by a trail).

Unfortunately, it just burned.

Not sure if this is beyond a paywall or not, but the story is at:

I was there a few times and remember it fondly.
