A Visit To Mount Soledad

It was so fun to catch up with my friend Beth.  And I can’t think of a better place to meet (yesterday) than here.  We had abundant sunshine, packed lunches, beach chairs and the day to spend.

Again without the details

The view looking north

We couldn’t have asked for a prettier day – We got a nice dose of Vitamin D.

It was amazing to see the snow covered mountains way in the distance, while enjoy temps in the 70’s.

It was fun to people watch…This couple was too cute.


This gentleman overheard Beth and me exclaiming the fact that we could see Mexico from here.  We ended up having such great conversation with him.

The shirt he was sporting was “Ride The Rockies”.  Turns out this 65 year old gentleman loves to ride the distance.  I was amazed that many of the tours he’s involved with are 400 + impressive miles!

Then this couple stopped by to see if someone would take their picture.  Turns out this lovely couple are newlyweds.  They had their beautiful ceremony this past Sunday.  Such a sweet couple.  We ended up visiting with them for what seems more than a half hour.

We even bumped into Google maps!  How cool was that?

When I asked if I could take his picture, he gave me a thumbs up.

Evidently he uses a Dell…

What fun…

29′ Cross or 43′ Cross if you include the base – at the top of the mountain.

People watching at its best…

A view as I was coming down off the mountain at the end of the afternoon.

We truly enjoyed our time spent here and more wonderful memories were made.
Blessings – Debbie
