Who says there's no weather in San Diego? Two weeks ago trains of clouds ripped across the Cuyamaca Mountains for two days and nights while dropping half a foot of rain on the county. A perfect time to head for the hills! Hiking up Stonewall, then Cuyamaca Peaks, I was walking up into, then over top of these cloud layers. Glimpses of one peak or the other were absolutely fleeting: one frame and the peak was again in clouds for half an hour. It was magical. Only a few other hikers were up there braving the cold conditions. Awesome the things in our own backyards!
Ferns looked like they were on fire along the Cuyamaca Peak trail
The perfect shot, but it was only there for one frame!
You can really see how the fire devastated this landscape, and it is still having trouble recovering as new trees are succumbing to the drought with no forest service staff to water newly planted trees.
