Moving right along to October 2007 and it's FIRE!! Specifically, the "Witch Fire", which pretty much ravaged this area for most of that month. In fact, even my little house was in an area under

Finally, for The Great RV Adventure of July 2007, here I we are on the last little leg of the drive home. Almost made it, this is about a half mile from my house. I was sure I'd be OK on the trip home

Wrapping up The Great RV Adventure of July 2007, here's the building at JQ Ranch where they gave us the sales pitch AND the FREE portable DVD player! The sales pitch only took a couple hours and the DVD

Finally (for today), here's some of the modern recreational facilities they have up at the JQ Ranch RV Park. Or had, back in July, 2007. Perhaps they've updated since then? :-) Miniature golf... And

A couple of rusty old farm-type implements of destruction up there at the KQ Ranch. Interesting to look at, but they don't look much fun to use. :-)

A cool old water pump made by the Silver & Deming Manufacturing Co. of Salem, Ohio sometime between 1874 and 1890 (according to the website below). Looks like they may also have actually used it up

Still enjoying my FREE overnight stay at the KQ RV Ranch in July 2007. This is the next morning, while waiting to get their sales pitch out of the way. Wandering around the park, checking out all the sights

This one looks like a cute little old Santa sleigh. :-)

Next morning (some day in July 2007), I was up early at the KQ Ranch and went out exploring. Had some time to kill before they gave us the sales pitch and I wanted to take a look around - even though there

Eventually got the "Dreamer" up to my FREE spot and got it all hooked up. At that point, all was well as everything else was working as it was supposed to. Water, electricity, toilet, etc. But

Continuing with "The Great RV Adventure of July 2007". Finally made it up to that RV park near Julian! But not without 3-4 scenes, just like this, a couple times along the road up the mountain.

I call this next series "The Great RV Adventure of July 2007". Don't worry, it's short but sour. :-) A few months before July 2007 (I think it was January or February), I had purchased a 1978

And that's all folks! Coming back in for a landing at the "Corporate Helicopters" terminal at Montgomery Field (looked it up :-)). Too bad I couldn't have flown in one of those cool and bigger

That's Jack Murphy Stadium down there, with it's huge parking lot all around it. At one point, it was home to the Padres and the Chargers (and who knows what else). But as we've seen, the Padres have moved

I'm not 100% sure, but I think this could be the 8-805 interchange. (Interstate 8 going left to right). Just your typical highway fun in SoCal. :-)

Right beside Balboa Park is the World Famous San Diego Zoo! Directly left of that packed parking lot on the right is the main entrance. That was another place I visited frequently when I had an annual

And now we're over San Diego's Balboa Park! From Wikipedia: "Balboa Park hosted the 1915–16 Panama–California Exposition and 1935–36 California Pacific International Exposition, both of which left

A few shots up above the Aerospace Museum in Balboa Park. I think my Dad was still a volunteer there back then (April, 2007). Somewhere around that time, anyway. And you can see the main runways of Lindbergh

Next, we'll be going over Balboa Park and the Zoo (more of my favorite places - especially when I had the gas $$ to visit them). See that big green area up ahead? That's it! :-)

Bottom left quadrant of the picture - the Horton Plaza Mall in downtown San Diego as seen in April 2007. It was doing fine at the time. But since then, it's gone out of business and changed into something
