a great way to connect with other like minded LGBT and allies.

A
little about Cuyamaca Rancho State Park
East of San Diego, Cuyamaca
Rancho State Park
offers respite from the dry Southern California landscape. The park’s
24,700 acres of oak and conifer forests and expansive meadows are
broken by running streams.
Located
in the Peninsular
Range of mountains, Cuyamaca Peak, at 6,512 feet, is the second
highest point in San Diego County. From the peak, visitors can see
Anza-Borrego Desert State Park to the east and the Pacific coastline
to the west. Over half of the park’s acreage is designated as state
wilderness.
Our
Campground
Green Valley sits at an
elevation of 4,000 feet
and has a creek which runs through the middle of the campground.
We
have 12 campsites for sleeping and one campsite designated as our
event space.
Saturday
Night Event
What would a Anniversary be
without a
celebration, our celebration will be themed to the 1970s/80s. So put
on your bell bottoms, or dust off your parachute pants, and let's
have some fun. Prizes will be awards to the best dressed
participants.

San
Bernardino Peak Day Hike
September 30, 2018
Overview: Distance: 16 miles Elevation Gain/Loss: 4600
Feet Level: Advanced Day HikeOne of the best-kept
secrets of Southern California is San Bernardino Mountains. Just five
miles away from the highest peak in
Southern California— San Gorgonio — San Bernardino tops out at a
respectable 10,649 feet. Hiking from
Angelus Oaks, this 16-mile out-and-back trail climbs over 4,600 feet.
This trail has amazing views that begin very early in
the hike. San Bernardino Peak is one of the lesser
known (and lesser traveled) peaks in Southern
California, providing a nice break from the more
crowded trails like Mt. San Antonio.
There are three distinct sections to this trail. The
first section climbs steadily up well-engineered
switchbacks through oak and pine forest. You gain
a lot of elevation quickly, but the trail is smooth and
not too steep. The second section gently climbs
through manzanita, with beautiful views to the north
towards Big Bear. The trail beings to climb up the
final slope as you near Limber Pines. There is a
small seasonal creek that you’ll cross about 1/2
mile before Limber Pines. The third and final
section follows switchbacks up the steep slope to
Washington’s Monument, then parallels the ridge to
the top of San Bernardino Peak.

Santa
Ana Zoo
October
25, 2018
From the
Santa Ana Zoo website:
“Fifty monkeys at all times. That was the unusual
request made in 1952 by Joseph Prentice, the founder of the Santa Ana
Zoo at Prentice Park. In order for the Zoo to exist, Mr. Prentice
required that there be 50 monkeys on the grounds at all times. When you
come for a visit, look for the 50 monkeys!
This charming Zoo features over 80 species of animals,
including the smallest monkeys in the world, the Pygmy Marmosets. The
Zoo is a place to play, a place to learn and a place to spend time with
your family.
When visiting the Zoo, children and adults can share
time together learning about animals, plants and the environment. There
is also a children's farm, train ride and carrousel featuring
endangered species.”
