I enjoyed this log very much. It brought back fond memories of when we used to go to our Cuyamaca mountain cabin. We'd stop in Julian and get an ice cream float, groceries and a block of ice to put in the icebox at the cabin. We'd pass through Isabell and head up into Julian. Such fun times. The cabin was out past Cuyamaca Lake up in the National Forest. It was burned down in the big San Diego fire, but my cousin has built back a very different cabin and he lives there. Such a beautiful place before the fire. Lots of trees have grown back. My dad and I took down seeding pine trees and we planted them all around our cabin. A lot of them made it and they are pretty big now. Obviously we didn't set out any kind of watering method for them. Thanks John, I always enjoy reading your posts, its almost like we the readers are there with you and Leslie.
Great story, Jill, although I'm sorry to hear about the loss of the family cabin. We saw plenty of evidence of the fire when we were sauntering in the state park, but the landscape has recovered well. We saw bald eagles soaring over the road as we drove around Cuyamaca Lake, which was an unexpected treat!
