Sacred Rocks Photo Album on Picasa

Many gathered at the Stargazing Plateau on Saturday night. Blankets – it was nippy! – and lounge chairs and drinks were the norm. Mr. Steve Case brought his very huge telescope to check out the closed nebulas and stars and moons, while waiting for the meteors to streak by. Quiet fun while being under the amazing blanket of the Milky Way!
We are all praying for the wind to die and for rain. It is a terrible and scary thing when your world is out-of-control. Our eleven year old has been worried since the fires started. “what would we do if ….” is the common question. And ‘can WE die of smoke’ [being in the middle of San Diego]. So what we decided is to make a plan. If X happens, then we will do this. If Y happens, then we will do that. Tell me, what plans you have made and if you shared them with your children.
All the while, Dimitri is up at the park keeping things together in the high winds. But what can one do against the winds, sometimes clocking 80mph. The park shows signs of the high winds with a huge tree uprooting between the space 7 & 8 but missing any vital thing. The west fence blew over close to the pool as it was not cemented in and and only intended to be temporary. Of course many branches and leaves have been strewn over the park. We are not complaining! Oh, no! We feel blessed that the fires have not started East of us. Dimitri put the generator for the store but the balance of the park has no electricity. If it is like four years ago, we will be without electricity for several days. Judging from the news reports a lot of the major lines and relay stations have burned. Tell me, what would you do if you had no electricity [or TV, no computer, no telephones for several days?
I would be interested in your opinions. Tell me…….
Here is a copy of our email to Friends of Outdoor World that we sent yesterday. If you are not on our mailing list, go to the first page of our www.outdoorworldretreat.com and put your email into the system.

Hello Friends of Outdoor World:
Fires seem to be all West of Boulevard area and the wind is blowing West. There is no electricity at the Park and no phone service. We have been in touch with Sheriff Judy and other than high winds at the park and no electricity, all is well. If you are concerned about your rigs you may call us on our cell-phones and we will tell you our current information. Dimitri is 619-992-1569 and Sharon is 619-818-8575. There is a high wind warning from Alpine to Imperial County line right now so travel is not advised for high profile vehicles.
When was the last time you had a personal getaway that gave you time to just be?
Perhaps you need the silence
Perhaps you want to breathe fresh air
Perhaps you have to kick back and relax
Perhaps you can find a hammock

Ronnie Golden wins the August Photo contest with this photo of a hawk eating the rabbit it just caught. Good job, Ronnie. This one is the last in Ronnie’s series of the hawk catching and keeping the rabbit.
There are unlimited subjects for photos at Outdoor World Retreat. Nature in it’s beauty. Have you considered doing a photo safari?
How beautiful is our Southern California Desert! Off road treks take adventurers out to new areas. Thrilling, challenging, a bit of danger. Cool drink at the end of the ride. Watch the others climb. Who does it well? Can you do it better?
Thank you Ronnie and Jenne Golden for the photo
Mark Hulsey nearly crashed himself! Check this out!
Plan Ahead for the 2008!

Comments like these are being heard again and again. While every site has it’s own special charm, many people get attached to ‘their’ site. Booking early is a good idea.
We are trying to make this the best and most affordable RV Park in San Diego County.
We’d be interested in your comments.
