Hiking in Escondido

Three weekends ago, Chuck and I hiked at Elfin Forest Recreational Reserve in Escondido which is 30 minutes north of San Diego proper.


Chuck crossing Escondido Creek. We had to cross it twice as we went the wrong way into a private residency.



Olivenhain Reservoir. It holds 8 billion gallons of water - an extra, temporary supply for the region in case an earthquake severs or damages aqueducts that transport water from NorCal.

Lake Hodges Overlook.

Chuck heading towards the Elfin Forest. We're on our way down to the trailhead. Conveniently, Stone Brewery is just a short drive away and we're headed there for a beer fill up.
