January 18, 2008 Dansk tekst til venstre English text on the right Dagens baghave: Backyard of the Day: Old Ironsides County Park, El Cajon, San Diego County, California Old Ironsides County Park is located on the corner of East Noakes Street and Harbison Canyon Road in El Cajon, San Diego County, California   I dag camperede vi i Old Ironsides County Park i El Cajon. Parken ligger langs en lille bæk og er overdækket af store gamle kyst-ege. Det er helt sikkert en af de hyggeligste af de små parker, vi har været i. Today we camped in Old Ironsides County Park in El Cajon. The park stretches along a small stream and is shaded by ancient coast live oaks. It is definitely one of the most idyllic of the small parks we have visited.     For tusind år siden lå der en indianerlandsby her. Kvinderne samlede agern og knuste dem til mel i hullerne på denne sten, og melet blev derefter skyllet i bækken for at få smagen af garvesyre vasket ud. A thousand years ago an Indian village existed here. The women collected acorns and ground them into flour in the holes in this rock, and then leached the flour in the stream in order to remove the taste of tannin.

Old Ironsides Park har ikke mindre end tre legepladser. En til små børn, en til store børn... Old Ironsides Park has no fewer than three playgrounds. One for little kids, one for big kids...     ...og - bedst af alt - en gammel legeplads med gynger og en rigtig gammeldags rutchebane. ...and - best of all - an actual old playground with swings and a real old-fashioned slide.
