Barnicle Brothers

On April 15,1992, Carol and Johnny were coming back down the coast when they came upon Los Osos, a seaside enclave just down Highway One from the historic Hearst Castle. They were smitten and moved to the town immediately. They visited the Hearst Castle often, picking up landscape ideas for their new home. Here's their first trip, just a few days after robbing a Bank of America in San Jose for $23,200.

Carol grew up in a two bedroom, one bath house, five people living there, a cat and a dog. Turtles, rabbits, all that stuff. She got a job out of high school working in the clothing department at Fed-Mart. And that was it. That was life. No driver's license, no boyfriend, living at home. She'd never left Dallas. Didn't think she would. Then, she met John. They got marrried, drank a bottle of rum, and drove the high passes and low flats all the way from Dallas to San Diego. Here she is in the spring of 1988 at the tippy-top of Cumbres Pass, Colorado in between jobs at Sunbelt Savings in Arlinton, Texas and First Interstate Bank of Laguna Beach, California.
