"Cuyamaca" is an old Indian word that means: You shall come back. No, not really, even though it's true. This is our third time camping in the Rancho Cuyamaca State Park, and this time during the July 4th long weekend. Instead of watching fireworks on Independence Day, I opted for some amazing sunrises.
The campground itself is probably one of the best I've ever been. Wife approves because of its clean bathrooms and showers. We got a camp site that was situated on a slight hill, so we found ourselves slipping down the bed throughout the night :D Next time I'll find a better campsite... and there will definitely be a next time!

You'll notice that there are lots of burnt trees in the photos... and that's because of the great Cedar Fire in 2003. On the last day, we started to notice a big plume of smoke behind the eastern hills. The rangers told us there was a fire in the desert east of us, and they let us know if we need to evacuate. It was kind of surreal because we were also here during the fire in 2003 and had to pack up early and run for our lives. The smoke was still there when we left on Sunday... I hope it will be contained soon.
