Did you know?
- Longtime Trabuco Canyon resident Sam Porter used to donate one bomb hoist per year to the Holy Jim Auction. He acquired them from an auction held at the former El Toro Marine Corps Air Station.
- Depending on the reference source, the word "Trabuco" has a couple different meanings. One being a "musket", another referes to it more as a "blunderbuss" (or trebuchet). One thing is clear - it is a type of weapon.
- Years ago, the Hells Angels and Hessions motorcycle gangs payed a visit to the canyon. The police decided to remove them in the middle of the night using several school buses as transportation. To the amazement of the cabin owners, the Harleys were left behind and stayed in the canyon for a day or so until they could be hauled away.
- In addition to the many books written by former cabin-owner and OC historian Jim Sleeper, there is a book written by Gordon Bricken titled "Pioneers in Blue and Gray" that discusses canyon history.
