I had the opportunity to go with my daughters class last week on their field trip to Blue Sky Reserve. For those unfamiliar with the Poway area it is a large wild life preserve that was basically wiped out by the Witch Creek fire last October. There are still signs all around that a fire went through there but the amazing thing to me were that there were even more signs of life and regrowth. It was a beautiful day and there were tons of wild flowers blooming and the trees are all starting to regrow. If you have never been out there and like to hike there are some great trails, just be sure to watch out for the poison oak!!
If you are lucky enough to run into one of the wonderful Docent's that are sometimes around to answer questions or give tours be sure to ask them about the Trap Door spider that lives there. It was one of the most amazing insects I have ever seen and remember that because this is a reserve nothing is to be taken from the land :)
