A friend of mine and I headed out to the Jacumba mountains area to hike down to Carrizo Gorge and explore some of the old train parts abandoned when the Carrizo Gorge railway was built. Turned out after my slow, sissy 4WD driving skills in my big Dodge crew cab truck were done we had spent most of the day stopping and exploring the surrounding area of the Jacumba Mountains and never made it down into the gorge. There were some interesting things to see along the way but I still want to go back and hike down into the gorge to find the old train parts and the abandoned railway camp.

The "full" TR is on my website http://www.sefcik.com/2011/02/jacumba-mountains.html

I am feeling pretty lazy so here are just a few pics

A wildlife guzzler

A possible old hunting blind. This whole area is near Table mtn and Sqaw Tit so it is Shaman's land

Brilliant bright yellow moss on the boulders

Pottery pieces found near the morteros

My sissy 4WD skills stopped me here

The Lindsay book describes an "Ornate stone cabin with a tin roof", here it is
