[RC] FW: Del Dios Highlands County Preserve Invitation - Nancy
Below you will find info on the opening of
the new Del Dios Highlands Open Space Preserve. This
350 acre preserve is the land that my late husband, Jerry Gradisher and the
Escondido Creek Conservancy brokered to ensure it would never be developed.
The land is a high ridge between ElfinForest and Del Dios/Lake
Hodges. It abuts the 750 acre Elfin Forest Recreation Reserve to the west
and LakeHodges to the east. This new link
has trails that connect ElfinForest to the Coast to Crest Trail (which travels
from Del Mar
to Julian). These are excellent horse trail with lots of climbing and magnificent
views. Here is the invite with a picture:
Needless to say, the dedication of this
land as permanent open space is a dream come true. Sometimes good does
win. Thank you Jerry! All your hard work has paid off, I know you
will be with us.
