San Diego, CA

 

August 1997

These pictures are from a camping trip I went on with some of my good friends.  The location is Burnt Rancheria campground near the Sunrise Highway in the Laguna Mountains, about 60 miles east of San Diego.

laguna forest

This is a picture of the campsite, before we set up camp.   Notice the slight fog/clouds this was because of the El Nino storms that were stuck in the mountains.  It actually rained that day (which is very unusual for San Diego in August).

laguna forest 2

Another Shot of the trees, again notice the fog.

laguna rocks

This is a shot of some of the rocks on the desert view trail.

View of the desert

This is a view from the crest of the trail down in to the desert to the east.

View of observatory

This is the Laguna Mountain Observatory, we're pretty sure they use this site to contact Aliens.

Desert View

Another view of the Desert.

Mountain View

One of my favorite shots from this trip

Contrast view

This shot is a good contrast of the green of the forest/highlands and the grey/brown of the desert below.
