Poway 2005



So, two years ago I was in San Diego working for FEMA as the region recovered from weeks of torrential rains. These rains, after the Cedar Fire in 2004 had burnt off a lot of the vegetation, caused lots of erosion damage.

I took this picture at the top of Iron Mountain Peak; it's about a 90 minute hike from the trailhead on Highway 67 to the top.

The map is from the fires, October 2007....the top of Iron Mountain is in between the numbers 1191 and 1992 on the map (just east of Highway 67). The picture I took was looking, I think, northeast......that view's a lot different today, obviously.
