Pioneer Cemetery

Family Plot, Laguna Meadows

Family Plot nestled in a pine grove on a small hill overlooking Laguna Meadows.

Wandering around Laguna Meadows we found a spur off of a trail in the south eastern part of the meadow. Following it up a small hill into a grove of pine we came across a small pioneer cemetery wit a few stones. The Larger stone has the Inscription
IF YOU SEEK THEIR MONUMENT LOOK AROUND.
this would seem to be no idle boast as the view from this vantage can not be beat, it looks across the length of Laguna Meadows in a 180 degree sweep.

The Transition from hot summer days to cooler fall days brings beautiful storm Clouds as well as the threat of lightning strikes and fire.

I apologize for not give out directions to most of my trips, trails change and I do not have the time to keep the site always updated. My hikes also span from the easy to the extreme, a lot of places do not even have trails, as well as extreme conditions. Some sites need to be protected as they are fragile and historically sensitive. So if you decide to hike some of these areas, do your research and know your limits, have the proper provisions .Every year many hikers die from not understanding these Simple Rules. San Diego County and surrounding areas are diverse in climate and terrain. Remember if you do decide to Hike do your research, carry the essentials and do so at your own risk. An alternative is to join one of the many hiking groups such as meetup or on facebook ,as well as other social sites. Not only is there safety in numbers but a pooling of knowledge.
