Well, we are still in the mountains of eastern San Diego county enjoying upper 60's at 5000 feet while the desert below us swelters. Apparently, this was just not meant to be a wildflower year as the rains were plentiful, but late and the temperatures stayed too cool at the wrong time and then went too hot too fast.
It was pastoral. It was a mixture of oak woodlands, grassy prairies, and chaparral slopes. There were apple orchards and vineyards, houses, and we could see the coast in the distance. While not exactly wilderness, it is a beautiful area for sure. Enough so, we've decided to stay up here a couple more days and see the even higher Laguna Mountains to the south.
