>>> WE HAVE SEEN A LOT OF RAIN AND SNOW THIS WINTER IN SAN DIEGO COUNTY, BUT FORECASTERS SAY THE BIGGEST STORM IS YET TO COME.

THE NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE IS WARNING PEOPLE TO HUNKER DOWN AND AVOID TRAVELING.

JOHN CARROLL CHECKED OUT THE CONDITIONS FOR DRIVERS TRAVERSING HIGHER ELEVATIONS.

>> Reporter: LOOKING DOWN FROM A LITTLE ABOVE 4000 FEET, THERE IS STILL PLENTY OF SNOW ON THE GROUND, BUT NO PRECIP AND THERE WAS NO WIND TO SPEAK OF.

THAT MADE DRIVERS THAT WE SPOKE TO HAPPY.

DEAN ANDERSON IS TRAVELING IN THIS RV WITH HIS WIFE AND YOUNG DAUGHTER.

HE SAID DRIVING CONDITIONS TODAY HAVE BEEN FINE, BUT HE KNOWS THAT THERE IS NO TIME TO WASTE GETTING TO ARIZONA.

>> WE ARE A BIT AHEAD OF IT.

WE KNOW THAT SATURDAY WILL BE TORRENTIAL.

>> Reporter: HE IS RIGHT.

A BIG CHANGES IN STORE.

PERHAPS THE BIGGEST OF THE SEASON SO FAR.

A LOT OF MOISTURE IS HEADED OUR WAY, BUT MOST OF IT WILL NOT FALL AS SNOW.

>> WE HAVE SEEN THE MAJORITY OF THE SNOW AND NOW WE WILL SEE THE MAJORITY OF THE RAIN.

THE MAIN STORM WILL BE TONIGHT.

THE HEAVY RAIN, MIDNIGHT TO 9:00 A.M.

TOMORROW.

>> Reporter: THE GOLDEN ACORN CASINO AND TRAVEL CENTER AND GAS STATION IS A POPULAR PLACE TO STOP AND FILL UP, MAYBE GET A SNACK AND GO TO THE BATHROOM.

TODAY IT IS DOING DOUBLE DUTY AS A PLACE TO PLAY IN THE SNOW.

JANET TRAVELED HERE WITH HER HUSBAND AND SISTER AND ONE-YEAR- OLD JOJO, ESCAPING EL CENTRO FOR ONE BIG REASON.

>> WE ENJOY THE SNOW.

IT IS HIS FIRST TIME.

>> Reporter: WE WILL GET MORE SNOW FROM THE NEXT STORM.

EXPECT BETWEEN 6 TO 15 INCHES OF IT AT THE 6000 FOOT LEVEL ON TOP OF THE 18 TO 24 INCHES THAT HAVE ALREADY FALLEN AT THE HIGHER ELEVATIONS.

DOWN IN SAN DIEGO, HE SAID WE WILL GET ANYWHERE BETWEEN 1 TO 3 INCHES OF RAIN.

ENOUGH TO CAUSE FLOODING AND NOT MUCH TIME TO DRY OUT AS ANOTHER STORM IS FORECAST TO ARRIVE EARLY NEXT WEEK.

>> MOUNTAIN AREAS ARE EXPECTING HISTORIC AND TREACHEROUS CONDITIONS.

EVEN COASTAL COMMUNITIES ARE GETTING A TASTE OF THE WINTER WEATHER.

MIKE VALERIO HAS THE LATEST.

>> Reporter: IN THE CITY OF ANGELS, YES THAT IS THE HOLLYWOOD SIGN AND YES, THAT IS WINTER WEATHER.

NOT ENOUGH FOR SNOW ANGELS, BUT ENOUGH FOR FROZEN PRECIP ACROSS SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA TO FREAK PEOPLE OUT.

>> IT'S LIKE A BLIZZARD.

WHEN I CAME BACK UP I SAW A HIT AND RUN.

>> Reporter: IN THE FIRST EVER BLIZZARD WARNING, THE NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE IN SAN DIEGO SAID THE MOUNTAINS IN SAN BERNARDINO COUNTY COULD SEE 3 TO 5 FEET OF SNOW FOR SATURDAY MORNING.

BLIZZARD WARNING SEEN HERE ARE ALSO ISSUED FOR PARTS OF LOS ANGELES AND VENTURA COUNTIES THROUGH SATURDAY AFTERNOON.

WINTER STORM WARNING'S AND PINK COVER MUCH OF THE STATE.

>> IT'S BEEN A LONG TIME SINCE WE HAD SNOW LIKE THIS.

>> Reporter: THE NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE FORECAST AREAS CLOSE TO THE COAST COULD SEE COLD RAIN TRANSITIONING INTO ACCUMULATING SNOWFALL.

THERE IS ALREADY PLENTY OF POWER HERE UP IN NORTHERN CALIFORNIA.

FOR SOUTHERN CALIFORNIANS, AUTHORITIES SAY THE WORST IMPACTS AND SNOW CAMEOS ARE IN THE FORECAST FOR FRIDAY AFTERNOON THROUGH SATURDAY MORNING.

>> WE WILL HAVE THE COMPLETE FORECAST INCLUDING WHEN WE COULD SEE A BREAK IN THE WET WEATHER BEFORE ANOTHER STORM MAYBE ON THE WAY.

>>> AN OFF-DUTY POLICE OFFICER WAS ARRESTED ON DOMESTIC VIOLENCE RELATED CHARGES.

JAMES WALKER WAS BOOKED INTO JAIL LAST NIGHT AFTER OFFICERS RESPONDED TO A 911 CALL IN MIRA MESA.

HE HAS BEEN SUSPENDED PENDING THE OUTCOME OF A CRIMINAL AND INTERNAL INVESTIGATION.

>>> THE INVESTIGATION INTO ASSAULT OF A YOUNG WOMAN BY FORMER FOOTBALL PLAYERS HAS LED TO A CHILD PORNOGRAPHY CHARGE.

ALEXANDER HAS MORE ON WHAT IS REVEALED IN SEARCH WARRANTS AND WHAT IT MEANS FOR THE CASE.

>> Reporter: WE SUED TO GET THESE DOCUMENTS RELEASED TO FIND OUT MORE ABOUT THE CASE.

THE SEARCH WARRANTS WERE RELEASED YESTERDAY AND THEY OFFERED DIFFERING ACCOUNTS OF WHAT HAPPENED THE NIGHT A YOUNG WOMAN REPORTED SHE WAS RAPED, ALLEGEDLY BY FORMER AZTEC FOOTBALL PLAYERS.

AUTHORITIES ALSO FOUND EVIDENCE OF CHILD PORNOGRAPHY AMONG THE MOUNTAIN OF DIGITAL EVIDENCE GATHERED FOR THE RAPE INVESTIGATION.

ONE OF THE SUSPECTS WAS ARRESTED YESTERDAY AND ONE COUNT OF POSSESSION OF CHILD PORNOGRAPHY.

AFTER THE WARRANTS ARE UNSEALED, THE ATTORNEY FOR THE YOUNG WOMAN IDENTIFIED ONLY AS JANE DOE, SAID THE AFFIDAVITS BOLSTER HIS CLIENT'S CASE.

AN ATTORNEY THAT WE TALKED TO SAID INFORMATION CONTAINED IN THE WARRANTS WILL MORE LIKELY THAN NOT HELP THE LOAN'S CIVIL CASE.

>> THE WARRANTS REVEALED THAT THE YOUNG LADY WAS HURT, WAS INJURED, AND WAS WRONGED IN SOME FASHION.

SO WHAT THAT AFFIDAVIT SHOWS SUPPORTS THE CIVIL LAWYER BECAUSE THE CIVIL LAWYER ONLY NEEDS PROBABLE CAUSE MORE LIKELY THAN NOT FOR HIM TO WIN.

>> Reporter: IN DECEMBER THE DISTRICT ATTORNEY'S OFFICE DECIDED NOT TO FILE CHARGES BASED ON THE RESIDENCE THAT THERE WAS NO PATH TO A POTENTIAL CONVICTION.

THE CIVIL CASE IS PENDING AND THEY HAVE YET TO CONCLUDE THE STUDENT CONDUCT INVESTIGATION.

>>> IT HAS BEEN ONE YEAR SINCE THE LIVES OF MILLIONS OF UKRAINIANS WERE TURNED UPSIDE DOWN AFTER RUSSIA INVADED THEIR HOMELAND.

SOME REFUGEES ARE NOW CALLING SAN DIEGO HOME.

CLAIRE STRONG MET WITH ONE FAMILY WHO WERE AMONG THE FIRST TO ARRIVE.

>> Reporter: LIFE IS SLOWLY GETTING BACK TO NORMAL, OR AS NORMAL AS THINGS CAN BE.

IT IS ALMOST A YEAR TODAY SINCE THE FAMILY WAS FORCED TO FLEE THEIR HOME AS RUSSIA INVADED UKRAINE.

THEY TRAVELED TO SAN DIEGO FROM PALO ALTO.

THEY WERE ONE OF THE FIRST UKRAINIAN FAMILIES TO ARRIVE.

>> I AM SAD FOR MY HUSBAND.

HE IS STILL THERE.

I THINK IT WAS HARDER.

HE HAS LIVED IN THE VILLAGE SINCE HE WAS BORN.

IT IS A COMMON THING IN UKRAINE TO STAY WHERE YOU ARE BORN.

I CAN SEE HOW HARD IT IS FOR HIM TO LEAVE THE PLACE WHERE HE WAS BORN.

>> THEY PULLED SOMEWHERE TO THE JUNKYARD.

>> Reporter: AFTER SPENDING MORE THAN 60 YEARS IN UKRAINE, THIS MAN HAS FOUND THE LANGUAGE BARRIER DIFFICULT.

HE SAID THAT LOCAL PEOPLE HAVE BEEN WELCOMING.

HE IS GRATEFUL FOR THE SUPPORT OF THE AMERICAN GOVERNMENT.

>> THERE WAS A BIG GARDEN.

THERE WAS A HOUSE.

I LIVED FOR 63 YEARS IN UKRAINE AND THEN I HAD TO LEAVE EVERYTHING.

IT WAS HARD.

>> Reporter: THEY HAVE AN 18- YEAR-OLD DAUGHTER.

SHE DID NOT KNOW ANY ENGLISH WHEN SHE MOVED HERE 12 MONTHS AGO.

NOW SHE IS EMBRACING SAN DIEGO LIFE.

>> I LIKE THE PEOPLE.

I LIKE THE WEATHER.

I LIKE THE SCHOOL.

>> Reporter: LEAVING BEHIND HER BOYFRIEND AND EXTENDED FAMILY WAS TRAUMATIC FOR HER.

SHE IS NOT SURE SHE WANTS TO GO BACK.

>> IT WILL BE VERY HARD FOR ME.

>> Reporter: WHAT DO YOU THINK WILL BE HARD ABOUT RETURNING THERE?

>> IT IS NOT THE SAME.

>> Reporter: THINGS ARE LOOKING UP FOR THE FAMILY.

MARIA PLANS ON ATTENDING COMMUNITY COLLEGE IN THE FALL AND THE YOUNGER SISTERS ARE SETTLING WELL.

THEY HOPE THAT UKRAINE WILL BE A FREE COUNTRY SOON.

>> I REALLY HOPE THAT THE WAR WILL BE OVER SOON.

AND NONE OF THE PEOPLE WILL SUFFER ANYMORE.

>>> A KEY CONSUMER SPENDING REPORT SHOWS THAT INFLATION MAY BE PICKING UP SPEED AGAIN.

AFTER RAISING CONCERNS THAT EFFORTS TO FIGHT INFLATION COULD STALL ECONOMIC GROWTH.

WE SEE WHAT IT COULD MEAN FOR YOUR WALLET.

>> Reporter: FOR AMERICANS STRUGGLING WITH THE RISING COST OF LIVING, HOTTER THAN AND EXPECTED INFLATION GAUGE MAY MAKE IT WORSE.

>> I GET PAID TOMORROW AND ALREADY MY WHOLE PAYCHECK IS SPOKEN FOR.

>> Reporter: THE PERSONAL CONSUMPTION PRICE INDEX SHOWED PRICES RISING UP SIX, .6% ON A MONTHLY BASIS.

IT IS THE FIRST TIME THE INDEX HAS TICKED UP IN THREE MONTHS.

STOCKS PLUNGED FRIDAY MORNING AS THE REPORT ADDS PRESSURE ON THE FEDERAL RESERVE TO CONTINUE WITH THE RATE HIKE CAMPAIGN.

>> THE FACT IS, WE HAVE LOST CONTROL.

>> Reporter: INFLATION IS FOCUSED ON SERVICES LIKE HOTELS AND MEALS OUT.

GOODS PRICES CONTINUED FALLING, DROPPING .7% FROM THE PREVIOUS MONTH.

CONSUMER SENTIMENT IS ON THE RISE.

ALSO RELEASED FRIDAY, THE UNIVERSITY OF MICHIGAN SURVEY OF CONSUMERS SHOW PEOPLE ARE FEELING BETTER ABOUT THE ECONOMY.

STILL, MANY FEAR THAT INFLATION WILL BE HIGHER IN THE NEAR- TERM.

>> I THINK IT'S THE THING THAT WE JUST CANNOT AFFORD THOSE LUXURIES THAT WEREN'T EVEN LUXURIOUS.

>>> GAS PRICES ARE FALLING NATIONALLY BUT THEY ARE STILL RISING IN SAN DIEGO COUNTY.

THE AVERAGE FOR A GALLON OF REGULAR ROAST OF $4.83.

THAT IS ABOUT $0.28 MORE THAN WE WERE PAYING A MONTH AGO.

PRICES IN CALIFORNIA ARE HIGHER DESPITE WHOLESALE PRICES FALLING NATIONALLY.

AAA SAYS OTHER FACTORS ARE PLAYING A ROLE SUCH AS THE STEADY REDUCTION IN FRONT REFINERY OUTPUT AND CAPACITY.

>>> FLAVORED TOBACCO SALES ARE ALREADY BANNED IN CALIFORNIA BUT LAWMAKERS WANT TO EVENTUALLY BAN ALL TOBACCO SALES IN THE STATE.

NEW LEGISLATION WOULD MAKE IT ILLEGAL TO SELL CIGARETTES AND OTHER PRODUCTS TO ANYONE BORN AFTER JANUARY FIRST, 2007.

THE BILL IS AIMED AT ENSURING THAT THE NEXT GENERATION DOES NOT BECOME ADDICTED TO SMOKING HER VAPING.

IT IS MODELED AFTER SIMILAR LAW PASSED IN NEW ZEALAND.

CANCER CONTINUES TO BE THE MOST SECOND MOST COMMON CAUSE OF DEATH BEHIND HEART DISEASE.

ROUTINE SCREENINGS ARE CRITICAL FOR HELPING TO CATCH CANCER BEFORE IT ADVANCES, BUT A NEW STUDY FOUND THAT MILLIONS OF PEOPLE SKIPPED THEM DURING THE SECOND YEAR OF THE PANDEMIC.

WE HAVE A LOOK AT THE DATA AND WHAT RESEARCHERS ARE HELPING THEY WILL TAKE AWAY FROM IT.

>> Reporter: AFTER SHARP DECLINES IN SCREENINGS DURING THE FIRST YEAR OF THE PANDEMIC, RESEARCHERS SET OUT TO STUDY THE FOLLOWING YEAR HOPING TO FIND THAT SCREENING RATES HAD RETURNED BACK TO NORMAL.

>> WE DID NOT SEE THAT TO BE THE CASE.

WE CONTINUED TO SEE DECLINES.

>> Reporter: JESSICA IS THE LEAD AUTHOR OF THE NEW STUDY.

RESEARCH SHOWS IN 2021 SCREENINGS FOR BREAST CANCER FELL 6% COMPARED TO 2019 BEFORE THE PANDEMIC.

THAT MEANS ABOUT 1 MILLION FEWER PEOPLE WERE SCREENED.

SCREENINGS FOR CERVICAL CANCER FELL 15%.

THAT IS ABOUT 4.4 MILLION FEWER PEOPLE.

FOR PROSTATE CANCER SCREENINGS FELL 10% ABOUT 700,000 FEWER PEOPLE.

THOSE DECLINES ARE ESPECIALLY SHARP AND NATION COMMUNITIES.

>> THIS IS CONCERNING BECAUSE NOT AS MANY OF THEM TEND TO HAVE HIGH CANCER MORTALITY AND ARE LESS LIKELY TO BE SCREENED.

>> THE RESEARCH SHOWS THE RATE OF COLORECTAL CANCER SCREENING STAYED THE SAME COMPARED TO PRE- PANDEMIC LEVELS.

>> THAT ASSIST ASSOCIATED WITH AN INCREASE IN SCHOOL TESTING WHICH OFFSET A DECLINE IN : OFF SUBPOENA TESTING.

>> Reporter: AT THIS POINT IT IS UNCLEAR THE EFFECT THAT MISSING SCREENINGS WILL HAVE.

SEPARATE RESEARCH FOUND THAT THE SCREENING RATES RETURNED TO NORMAL IN 2022.

THEY ARE IN ANYBODY THAT MUST ROUTINE SCREENING TO CATCH UP NOW.

>>> THERE ARE LOTS OF RANCHES IN SAN DIEGO COUNTY.

ONE RANCH LESS THAN AN HOUR EAST OF THE CITY IS UNIQUE.

IT IS GEARED TOWARD MILITARY FAMILIES.

JOHN CARROLL SHOWS US HOW TIME SPENT THERE CAN RESTORE AND CHANGE LIVES.

>> Reporter: WE HAVE BEAUTIFUL BEACHES, BREATHTAKING DESERTS, AND IN BETWEEN PLACES LIKE THIS.

SITUATED IN PINE VALLEY SURROUNDED BY THE CLEVELAND NATIONAL FOREST, THIS COURSE IN THE SUN RANCH SITS IN THE VALLEY.

>> THERE ARE A LOT OF PRESSURES ON MILITARY VALLEYS.

THE GENERAL POPULATION DOES NOT UNDERSTAND.

>> Reporter: HE WORKS FOR THE ARMED SERVICES YMCA.

THE PREVIOUS OWNER OF THE RANCH DONATED IT TO THE ARMED SERVICES .

HE UNDERSTANDS THE UNIQUE CHALLENGES FACED BY MILITARY FAMILIES.

>> HI CHILDCARE COSTS.

WE BRING THEM TO THE RANCH AND LET THEM ESPECIALLY PRE-AND POST-DEPLOYMENT CONNECT AS A FAMILY.

THEY CAN COME UP HERE AND MOM AND DAD CAN ENJOY BARBECUE.

THE KIDS CAN RUN AND SCREAM AND PLAY WITH THE HORSES.

FAMILIES CAN COME AND SPEND FIVE OR SIX HOURS AND ENJOY PONY RIDES FOR THE KIDS.

THEY CAN DO ARCHERY.

THEY CAN DO LASER TAG, ARTS AND CRAFTS, HIKING.

>> Reporter: OR JUST SOME QUIET TIME.

A CREEK RUNS ALONG ONE SIDE OF THE PROPERTY.

THERE IS ONE ACTIVITY THAT HAPPENS INSIDE.

>> WELCOME TO THE CRAFT SHOP HERE AT THE RANCH.

LEATHERCRAFT IS PART OF THE RANCH LIFE.

>> Reporter: KIDS NOT ONLY LEARNED ABOUT LEATHER CRAFTING, GET TO CREATE THEIR OWN WORKS OF ART.

>> A KID CAN MAKE A NICE LITTLE BRACELET.

SOMETHING THEY CAN KEEP FOREVER.

>> IT IS NICE TO BE SURROUNDED BY NATURE AND PLAY WITH THE HORSES AS WELL.

IT IS A REALLY GOOD GROUNDING EXPERIENCE FOR THE CHILDREN.

>> Reporter: IT'S A PERFECT PLACE TO MEET MEMORIES.

THAT BRINGS US TO THE FIRST FAMILY TO VISIT HERE ABOUT SIX YEARS AGO.

IT'S A VERY SPECIAL STORY FROM THE RANCH TO DO WITH A VERY SPECIAL HORSE.

THIS IS LITTLE MOON.

THE STORY BEGAN SIX YEARS AGO.

>> I REMEMBER TIMES IN MY LIFETIME WHEN I WAS REALLY LITTLE AND I COULD NOT WAIT TO MOVE BACK TO CALIFORNIA TO SEE A LITTLE MOON AGAIN.

>> Reporter: THIS IS THE GIRL, NOT SO LITTLE ANYMORE.

SAM IS NOW EIGHT YEARS OLD.

SAM SAYS SHE DOES NOT REALLY REMEMBER THE FIRST MEETING, BUT A FEW YEARS LATER THE FAMILY VISITED AGAIN.

TURNS OUT LITTLE MOON REMEMBERED SAM AND WAS VERY HAPPY TO SEE HER.

>> HE HUGGED YOU.

>> Reporter: A HORSE HUG IS WHEN A HORSE PUTS HIS NECK AND HEAD AROUND YOU.

>> I LOVE HIM BECAUSE HE IS SUPERSWEET.

HE IS THE NICEST HORSE I'VE EVER MET IN MY LIFETIME.

>> Reporter: THERE ARE A LOT OF THINGS TO SAY ABOUT THE HORRORS OF THE SUN RANCH BUT STORIES LIKE SAM'S REALLY SUMMIT UP.

A PLACE WHERE HORSES AND NATURE LIFT THE HUMAN SPIRIT.

ONE MIGHT ADD, A PLACE WHERE MEMORIES ARE MADE THAT LAST A LIFETIME.

>> FOR MORE INFORMATION JUST CHECK OUT THE STORY ON A WEBSITE, KPBS.ORG.

>>> PEOPLE IN SAN DIEGO COUNTY REPORTED HEARING A BOOM THIS MORNING.

NO SEISMIC ACTIVITY WAS DETECTED.

MILITARY OFFICIALS FROM THE NAVY AND MARINE CORPS COULD NOT POINT TO A SPECIFIC CAUSE.

OFFICIALS AT CAMP PENDLETON COULD NOT RULE OUT OPERATIONS, SAYING THAT ARTILLERY WAS BEING FIRED ON THE BASE TODAY.

>>> IT WOULD BE A GOOD NIGHT TO STAY HOME AS A DANGEROUS STORM SWEEPS ACROSS THE AREA.

WIDESPREAD TRAVEL DISRUPTIONS EXPECTED.

SEVERAL FEET OF SNOW ARE LIKELY AND PASSES WILL EVENTUALLY BE SHUT DOWN.

WINDS ON THE INCREASE.

THE RAIN BECOMES HEAVY AGAIN AND FLOOD WATCH IS ARE OUT.

UP IN THE MOUNTAINS, THE WINTER STORM WARNING SEND EVEN A BLIZZARD WARNING.

OVERNIGHT TONIGHT IT IS WINDY.

THE SOAKING AND TORRENTIAL RAIN WILL BE COOL.

40s AND 50s AND MOUNTAINS INTO THE 20s.

THIS IS THE BAND THAT WE ARE CONCERNED ABOUT COMING IN TONIGHT.

STUDY TORRENTIAL RAIN TONIGHT AND EARLY SATURDAY.

THE COLD CORE COMES A SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS.

IT COULD ACTUALLY BE A FEW FUNNEL CLOUD'S SO WATCH OUT FOR THAT.

TEMPERATURES TOMORROW WILL BE COOL AGAIN.

40s AND 50s IN THE MOUNTAINS.

AS WE TAKE A LOOK AHEAD WE WILL SEE ANOTHER STORM.

THE INLAND AREAS DOWNPOURS INTO SATURDAY AND THE IMPROVEMENTS COME EARLY IN THE WEEK.

WE ARE TALKING WIND AND WE WILL SEE THE SNOW TAPER OFF ON MONDAY BEFORE TUESDAY.

THE STORM RETURNS AND AS WE TAKE IT TO THE DESERTS HEAVIER RAINS ON SATURDAY AND IT DRIES UP.

>>> IF YOU TEST NEGATIVE FOR COVID BUT STILL FEEL SICK HOW DO YOU KNOW IF YOU HAVE THE FLU.

THE FDA HAS APPROVED A HOME TEST THAT CAN CHECK FOR COVID- 19 AND INFLUENZA.

FLU SEASON IS JUST ABOUT OVER BUT THE U.S. HAS SEEN MORE THAN 235,000 NEW COVID CASES JUST THIS WEEK.

>>> THE NEXT TIME YOU GO TO SEA WORLD YOU CAN LEAVE YOUR CASH OUT HOME.

THE THEME PARK IS THE LATEST TO GO CASHLESS IN THE FRIDAY BUSINESS REPORT.

>> SAN DIEGO WAS THE FIRST TEST MARKET FOR SEA WORLD ENTERTAINMENT WHICH HAS THEME PARKS ALL OVER THE COUNTRY.

THEY ARE REALLY USING SEA WORLD AND SAN DIEGO AS A TEST CASE.

SEA WORLD IS NOT THE FIRST IN SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA.

LEGOLAND IS ALREADY CASHLESS.

KNOTTS BERRY FARM IS CASHLESS AND MAGIC MOUNTAIN IS CASHLESS.

DISNEY STILL ACCEPTS CASH.

FROM A CONCERN BEHAVIOR POINT OF VIEW USING CASH IS A DEFINING FACTOR.

WHEN MY CASH RUNS LOW I AM DONE SPENDING.

YOU MANAGE WHAT YOU SPENT OVER THE COURSE OF THE DAY.

USING A CREDIT CARD OR DEBIT CARD, A LOT OF CONSUMERS DO NOT THINK AS MUCH ABOUT WHAT THEY HAVE SPENT.

THERE IS A TENDENCY TO OVERSPEND.

ONE OF THE THINGS THAT THEY HAVE SEEN IS THAT WHEN YOU GO CASHLESS, THERE TENDS TO BE AN INCREASE IN IMPULSE SPENDING.

PEOPLE MIGHT GET MORE FOOD AND THAT COULD IMPROVE THE PROFITABILITY OF THE THEME PARK.
