End of the Rainbow!

My soggy walk this morning was rewarded with a beautiful rainbow coming out of the valley and stretching out beyond the hills. Further examination led me to find the rainbow's end in a field. As picture shows, there is no pot of gold at this end, maybe the farmer on the other side of the hills got the tangible rewards. My reward was the glow in my soul at such a rare sighting. The owner of this field will hopefully be blessed with a bounty of crops due to today's rains.


We are in the small, pop 1000 on a good winter day, town of Aguanga CA. Now for those who don't know, it is 17 miles east of Temecula in the coastal hills. Still in the dark? Temecula, a city of about 100,000, is just about mid way between San Diego and Los Angeles on I-15. This park, Jojoba Hills, sits just north of Mount Palomar. If the clouds clear, we plan to drive there today or tomorrow.

Jojoba Hills is a Escapees Co-op, the jewel in the crown! These folks have it all, including a long arm quilting machine! They have dinner dances a couple of times a month with a live band. The views from the community center hall and pavilion are out of this world breath taking. Tennis courts, horseshoes, putt-putt, extensive library, full size swimming pool, 2 hot tubs, a sauna in both men's and women's restrooms at the pavilion. They have citrus fruit trees, olive trees, various gardens and all kinds of plants from agave to pine. The mechanics shop is large enough to pull in any size RV with tools and equipment to just about do a re-build. The adjacent wood shop would have our son, Kyle, hooked forever. They have it all and more than enough room to make use of it.
