The location for this trip was somewhere I wouldn't have expected - in the middle of the pad part of Vista, there is a very nice neighborhood, and in the middle of that neighborhood there is this random rock garden place - unexpected, but cool.
The site itself was not very big, but full of vegetation. Perhaps the best part of this trip for me was the view of Vista and Oceanside and all the surroundings. What an amazing view! I don't know why, but I have a thing with sweeping vistas such as the one there - they make me very contemplative.
The rock itself was very imposing, and something about it made me want to conquer it. So yeah, I just kinda climbed up all over it, which apparently they weren't happy about, but I'd like to think many from my class got some good pictures out of it.
Some other miscellaneous notes about this trip:
- a small lemon grove reminded me of the secret garden and was a cool place to hide.
- free sandwiches! they really went out of their way for us and for that I am grateful.
- the tour guide type person reminds me of John Hammond in the pictures I took of him, even though he acted nothing like him in person.
This trip was an all around good time, despite me being yelled at for climbing on things. I’d say that was balanced out nicely by the free food, though. And because we can never have enough pictures of Zane looking weird, I will end this writeup with just that.
