Over the next few months a lot will be said about the summer of love but it probably wouldnt have happened without some brilliant, if unconventional psychics. As Wilson Walker shows us, the summer of 67 required a certain chemistry and one mayor is determined to find it. Ive got old home movies, assessors records, ive looked at historic maps, historic aerial photos. Reporter on the ed point richmond, the mayor is looking for his citys next landmark. Probably an upslope house because it had a garage under it. Reporter the mayor is hunting for a clandestine psych del call kem psychedelic chemistry lab. A lot of things fed into what happened in 1967. One of the essential elements clearly is lsd and the psychedelic experience. That could not have happened without stanleys efforts. He was one industrious fella. Reporter als by bear stanley, sound engineer for the grateful dead and who without him, there was simply not enough lds around for the wholesale participation in that experience by maybe hundreds of thousands of people. Now, hes essential. Hes an essential factor. Reporter stanley died in 2011 but in 66 he was cooking up that legendary batch of lds in a richmond rental home. We have worked through every single house in a multiblock area. Reporter fortunately for the mayor, bare stanley was not working alone. This is actually a map that i bought in 1966. Reporter tim scully was a wonky east bay kid turned berkeley physics major until his first trip convinced him he needed to drop out joint elsely and turn on about everybody.

I did not drop acid. Reporter an unlikely Research Team but the mayor and the former chemist are adding up clues and zeroing in on that house. The lab was down around here. Pretty well agree that when they came over here they turned off the highway. It was close to the oil refinery, which meant that smells from the oil refinery would cover up the lab smells. They came up marine street like we are going and somewhere down in this area where you see San Francisco bay, they rented this house. Sketched out three alternate floor plans. This is the part of the garage that was separated behind a plywood wall and a trapdoor going down into the basement. There are a couple of prospects that tim never felt good about but i havent given up on them and they are these two houses here, they are both upslope houses, views of the bay. The other hot prospect i have is a house that used to be right here. Somehow its more compelling because theres nothing here, nobody can prove its not. Reporter you want to honor this spot, right . That was my original idea. If i could find it, put up a bronze plaque with dedication ceremony and invite all the characters from those days. Reporter now we have a new attorney general. We can invite him, sure. Reporter youre a mayor who wants to commemorate the former location of an lds lab. You know what . It wasnt illegal then. Right . Reporter this is true. It wasnt. It was nothing illegal about it at all. Reporter the house on this lot was demolished in the 80s and those other two houses have been dramatically remodeled so a positive identification eludes us for now but just as this neighborhood has changed over the last 50 years, so have sensibilities and now richmond finds itself with a mayor that wants to commemorate what might have happened on this very spot.

The goal is to increase survival and imprint so that these fish come back to the mccullmy river as adults instead of strain into other systems. Reporter two batches of fish were brought in from the hatchery to this boat in different ways. The first traveled downstream in this space in hopes the fish will remember their surroundings and know how to make their way home. The second came via truck. Hopefully they have a similar amount of survival, but the fish that came out on the boat have a higher rate of return to our river. Reporter these baby king salmon are expected to return home to the mccullmy river in the next two to three years. Thats when scientists will start to analyze the data from the tags located in their head. Bay area commercial and recreational fishermen commonly catch king salmon.
