Part 3 Cliffs and Canyons

Apr 26, 2024,23:19 PM
 

We had come to a deadend street which offered us a chance to enter a vacant lot between 2 houses. Maybe the empty lot was the result of a house falling off... yikes! The grass was very slippery.




Looking down.



Looking West at the road to La Jolla



South towards the City



North towards LA, SF, Alaska, etc.



Lizards were plentiful but my auto-focus was acting up.



We saw literally hundreds of bumble bees. And why not, the blooms were everywhere. Here's a bumble.





I did see two rabbits who may have left these pellets, but they were too fast for me. I also got lots of stickers in my socks. Sandals not such a good idea here.



A wasp attracted me



This is Rose Creek on the bottom and the San Diego Trolley at top right (as if you couldn't tell). We have visited both in other episodes.



This deck hanging out over the canyon looked about as stable as that fallen century plant to its left.



Something darted into the hole and we couldn't coax it out. Later, back in the photo lab I could zoom in and see a lizard at the entrance.



We came to an impasse and turned around. Walked a bit on the streets,



looking at flowers, then entered another canyon.





The sign said "This is partly city property and partly private property and you shouldn't mess it up like some guys already have done... blah blah"



We just walked.



Saw some birds (only one shy hummingbird today).






Got tired and headed back to the car.



BTW, this is Poison Oak. Don't touch it. We didn't.



Thanks for riding and walking along with us.

PS - I actually wore my gold dressy Credor Spring Drive. Whoops, I forgot that I had it on.

Exploring canyons, creeks, cars and bars

We'll start with the cars. This Plymouth is for sale. This Dodge is not. I'm sure this is quite a rare beast, as in 1957 Chevrolet Cameo pickups with a NAPCO 4x4 conversion were like hen's teeth. Heck, as rare as Hen's Wisdom teeth! FYI - This very lovely...

We went for a quick walk at a private pond hidden in a private community. We entered with impunity. But not immunity, so we kept it a short visit. We had a nice conversation with a goldfish on steroids. But we had no food for him. He said, Burp, bloop, sp...  

LoL....

It gives us encouragement to continue! Mike

I always find it interesting when I see cars people wanting to restore...

I grew up back in the day of 50s 60s and 70s and many of the cars I see today that people are restoring were NEVER considered "classics" but were merely family cars. I had a 46 Pontiac, a 57 Pontiac Hearse, a 68 Charger (like the one in Bullitt) a 75 Mont... 

Taste in vehicles certainly varies

From family to family and region to region. We need thing is for certain - most people with an older car have more than one (I suppose the same thing applies to 🐈‍⬛ cats).
