| partners | | This was a bit of a journey, as well as a hike, since it was with my old pal, Ray. I'm out of shape, and he's not. So it took forever, and we chatted the whole time. Had a great time! I am getting back in shape, but after 6 months of nearly no exercise, it seems to be taking a while. He recommended Vitamin C, so I took some as soon as I got home.
This is in the Mission Trails Regional Park, city of San Diego. We started with the South Fortuna loop and then down to a saddle and then up to North Fortuna. They are listed as separate hikes, but seemed to me to be all one hike, although there are many options for looping.
We could see the usual--ocean, islands in Mexico, lots of peaks and trails, and miles and miles of cityscape. But there are always the mountains, and Ray agrees with me, it's WAY less smoggy there than it used to be.
This was also the first time since moving back here that I had ventured south to the city of San Diego. I sure would not want to live down there. Way too busy for me. I had to take Interstate 15 to get there which was at least 7 lanes wide at some points. Sheesh. I had fun but was glad to get back to Valley Center. Nice and quiet up here in the avocado groves. |
