Vallecito Mountains

One of the great things about travelling to different places is the people you meet! And with few exceptions, people are relaxed, friendly and interested in who you are and where you are from. 

Several people mentioned the town of Julian to us....and without fail, they would say "If you get to Julian, you have to get one of the fruit pies the town is famous for."

So when we left Borrego, we headed south thru the Vallecito Mountains on our way to Julian.  And within a few miles, we were exclaiming Wow!! over and over. What an incredible drive....
