Milky Way and 'streaking' over Sunrise Highway in Mt. Laguna

Last night(July 20, 2019), my friend and I went to Mt. Laguna with the idea of shooting the Milky Way as well as car trails leading up to the Milky Way.

What a beautiful night it was...clear skies, cool temperatures, not much traffic, and of course, the landscape of these beautiful trees!

However, the story here is not all happy. :(

In July 2013, the Chariot Fire reportedly destroyed 108 structures along Sunrise Highway, including the Al Bahr Shrine Camp and one lost at the Sierra Club Guymon Lodge. The blaze scorched over 7,055 acres.

John Stump with the Sierra Club later confirmed that Foster Lodge, the main building at the camp, remained standing. The burned building was known as the Cabin, or “Mandolff’s Hutte” to insiders.

“It was used for hostelling drop-in activities of individuals and family groups,”. It was also adapted to encourage participation of physically challenged and disabled people. “The loss of the cabin will severely limit the amount of programming the Sierra Club can provide and it will interfere with the housing for the Sierra Club’s all volunteer conservation caretakers,” he added.

As we drove through the campground (fortunately, they were not destroyed in the fire!), it was very apparent that the fire had destroyed much. Couple of structures were burnt to the ground. Many of the cabins were still standing and had not been touched. But they looked abandoned, even though they looked pretty nice.

Hope the Shriners and Sierra Club can restore these and provide service to the physically challenged individuals. What a peaceful and beautiful area it is! #trovember

Julian, CA Historic Apple & Gold Mine Town A-Frame 1-Bed, Pets Okay

Julian

“This cozy A-frame is above done businesses, but because of its separate entrance behind, you get the feel of a cabin by itself. Note, there are stairs for access, but if that’s not an issue for you then the test is easy. The interior is so clean that it looks like this thing was built just last week. The amenities are great for that “off on your own” experience, but the center of town is about a ten minute hike, if you didn’t want to drive. There is an AC/heat pump replacing some old floor...
