August 14, 2008 Dansk tekst til venstre English text on the right Dagens baghave: Backyard of the Day: Upper Green Valley Falls, Cuyamaca Rancho State Park, Cuyamaca, San Diego County, California Cuyamaca Rancho State Park is located on Highway 79 in the Peninsular Mountain Range in east San Diego County, California   Med luften tung af torden tog vi til Cuyamaca og gik ned til et af vores yndlingssteder, et vandfald, der hedder Upper Green Valley Falls. The air heavy with thunder, we went to Cuyamaca and went down to one of our favorite spots, the Upper Green Valley Falls.           På vej ~ Heading down     Ved første øjekast, ser vandfaldet lidt småsløjt ud, og ikke gevaldigt bemærkelsesværdigt, men vi har været her før, og lader os ikke narre... At first glance the waterfalls look rather a little scrawny here, and not so very noticable, but since we've been here before, we won't be fooled...

Lidt "Bjergbestigning"... ~ A bit of "Rock climbing"...       "Ørkenens malerpensel" ~ "Desert Paintbrush"     Der er nogle meget stædige egetræer her omkring. There are some very stubborn oak trees here.     Og så var vi der. Oppe ved toppen af vandfaldet samler vandet fra Sweetwater River sig i den dejligste lille sø, helt og aldeles perfekt til at soppe og lege i. And then we got there. At the top of the waterfalls the waters of the Sweetwater River collect to form the loveliest little pool, perfect for wading and playing.

Lidt koldere, end man skulle tro.... A bit colder than one would expect....

Bear får en slurk vand ~ Bear takes a drink

Californisk Boghvede ~ California Buckwheat     Tordenen begyndte at rumle for alvor, og så var det bare om at finde op til campingvognen i en fart.... The thunder began to rumble in earnest, and it was high time to hurry up and find our way back to the camper....
