Mt. Palomar










Headed up the 5,500 foot mountain to the Observatory. As we walked up to the dome, we noticed it was being painted and the dome was rotating. A 10 hp motor moves it, but it makes no sound!

We dropped a name of a former employee who now works in NH. He was well liked so we were able to view the telescope on the other side of the glass room, meet several people and get some photos for my classroom. Thank you!

We traveled the backroads to Temecula. Not what we expected for wine country, but eventually found the wineries.

Then we needed to head towards LA to be closer to the airport. Sonja mastered the roads with Jay as the navigator!
