Throughout the country, state parks, historic sites, homes, buildings, museums, and similar institutions are struggling to continue operating. Because of general financial problems, many of these institutions are operating on a reduced schedule or in danger of closing. Some are being forced to sell off artifacts and property. Many will not weather these hard times without your help. Places Earth urges everyone to support these vital and important public resources any way you can. Please donate your treasure, time, and talent. Write to your governor and other elected officials telling them to find a way to keep state parks open. It will be your loss. Public Service Announcement | Test space for future ad if donations don't increase. |

Highway 79 & Cuyamaca Rancho State Park
All photographs taken by Kenneth A. Larson. All rights reserved. © 2006 - 2012.| California State highway 79 is a scenic drive north from Interstate 8 in San Diego County through the tourist town of Julian and past the Mission Asisencia of Santa Ysabel and connecting to Interstate 15 in Riverside County. The highway passes through State Parks, National Forests, beautiful scenery and passes lakes. For a distance of about 20 miles, Highway 79 passes through Cuyamaca Rancho State Park. In the fall of 2003, brush fires devastated many parts of Southern California, the scars of which are easily seen of the southern section of Highway 79. Still nature is recovering and there is a carpet of green around the base of the black charred trees. About a half hour south of Julian, Desert View Park affords a spectacular view of Anza Borrego Desert State Park to the east. |
