A few years ago, a fire ravaged the forest, so all you can see on the hike are burned trees. That means there's no shade. Because we're in year xx of a dust bowl sized drought, the ground is just loose desert dust. Oh, and it was 90 degrees and we hiked 4miles round trip on a rocky and uneven path.
Ate lunch at the "spring." The spring had dead bees and the thing I fear most...a butterfly wing.

Afterwards we picked up another pie at Julien and came back! I don't recommend visiting Julien, it's an hour drive for a very small one street town, full of stores that sold things they ordered off of ebay. But it is important to remember the sheer size of San Diego county, and all the Indian reservations between here and there.
