Spotlight on Daffodils

— Annette Williams

he annual Daffodil Show, set for March 22 and 23, is the perfect showcase for the brilliant-yellow blooms Julian is famous for. Not only do grownups share their blossoms, but school-age gardeners get in on the act, with three full tables of youth entries. Daffodil planting is a labor of love for

the Daffodil Project, a nonprofit beautification group led by Sally Snipes, who places orders for bushels of bulbs each year. The event is from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. at Julian Town Hall, 2129 Main St., and will also feature a children’s art exhibit. Flower entries will be accepted March 21 from noon to 5 p.m. Call Julian Chamber of Commerce at 760-765-1857. n Photo by Carol Kinney

Artists and Art-lovers

Find Inspiration in Julian

— Annette Williams

isitors from far and wide are drawn to Julian’s picturesque pinestudded mountains, sunny peaks and hillsides abloom with daffodils, lilacs and apple blossoms. But the area may be an even greater inspiration to local artists, whose plein air paintings and photographs are nothing short of breathtaking. The Julian Arts Guild has a goal of enhancing the art-consciousness of the region. As a result, the nonprofit organization has embraced artists and their endeavors for more than 30 years, offering them a platform to display and sell their work. There are art exhibits on the walls of the Julian Library and in businesses around town. In addition, art and photography galleries thrive throughout the backcountry.

Mom’s Pies Julian 2119 Main Street Julian, CA 92036 760-765-2472

Artists also participate in the Taste of Julian, April 12, showcasing their work to guests who spend the afternoon sampling delicacies from restaurants, wineries and breweries. Two of the biggest shows of the year — the Spring Fine Arts Show from May 9 to 11 and the Fall Art Show Aug. 29 to Sept. 1 — feature a wide variety of artwork in Julian Town Hall. In addition is the Guild’s popular Open Studios Tour, Oct. 18 and 19, the one time each year when artists open their private studios to guests. It’s the perfect opportunity for art-lovers to visit their favorite artists — and discover new favorites. For both artists and art-lovers, Julian is the perfect place to find inspiration.

Glistening Gold at Eagle & High Peak Mine — Tracy Rolling

Paul Nelson leads a tour of the mine.

Photos by Carol Kinney

ith a vision to preserve a piece of American history, Ed and Ellen Sprague purchased Eagle Peak Mine in Julian in the late 1800s. Eventually, their son Harlan Nelson took over the day-to-day operations until his passing. Today, Nelson’s three sons, Karl, Craig and Paul, are keeping their grandfather’s dream alive by offering guided tours through one of the oldest hard rock gold mines in San Diego County. “We are so proud of what our grandpa did, and our dad, and the miners,” said Craig Nelson, describing his grandfather’s vision as one that showcases a piece of American history. The brothers invite guests to step back in time during a 50-minute tour and see what the miners experienced as they blasted rock from the walls then used a pick and shovel to burrow their

way though the mountain, creating an assortment of swirling tunnels. With the mine’s more than 1,000 feet of tunnels pointing in all directions, Nelson says that miners pushed carts of sediment to daylight in hopes of identifying quartz, a mineral that encases gold. For every ton of rock crushed, they would produce a lump of gold the size of a sugar cube. “Our tours are some of the most informative, historical accounts of how hard the miners worked,” he said, adding that the historic way of mining became obsolete after World War II

due to the high cost of operation and modern-day mining technology. “We give the tour like Grandpa taught us. We’ve made some renovations, updated the property, and have worked hard to keep their legacy alive. We hope people will come and see for themselves what mining is all about.” The mine is located on C Street, just a few blocks north of Main Street. It is open from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. on weekdays, and 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. on weekends. For cost and information, call the Eagle Mining Company at 760-765-0036. n

A mammoth collection of boulders forms what has been dubbed “Eagle Rock.” Photo by Tracy Rolling

— Tracy Rolling

hough it never stretched its wings and soared over Julian, Warner Springs or any part of the backcountry, the eagle has landed. Carved solely by wind, water and other natural elements, the rock

formation known as Eagle Rock is increasing in popularity and earning its name because of its majestic resemblance to an eagle. Situated just a few miles southeast of Warner Springs, the bulky boulders are hard to track down, as is any part of the rock formation’s history.

As part of the Pacific Crest Trail (PCT), which spans three states — California, Oregon and Washington — the trail can be accessed on the south side of the Warner Springs fire station off Highway 79, approximately one mile south of town. Parking can be found along the west side of Highway 79 near a PCT sign or in a small, shaded lot north of the fire station. Though there is little published about the trail, what information is available has some discrepancies. One site gauges the degree of difficulty as “easy,” and lists the distance as three miles total, and indicates that signage is used throughout. In truth, it is approximately six miles round trip, and should not be considered an easy hike. While it appears to be a well-worn path, it is not well marked, and there are several trails that branch off. Temecula resident Wendy Carter heard about the rock from coworkers a few years ago. She has hiked it several

times since and brought her daughter Alexis and her daughter’s boyfriend, Matthew Bustamante, to see the phenomenon for themselves. “It’s amazing!” she said, adding that it took them a couple of hours to reach the rock. Without determination and adequate supplies, such as water and proper foot attire, she says it can be very challenging. The topography varies throughout the hike. One moment, you will be strolling under a canopy of oak trees beside a creek bed, the next, you are sauntering alongside rolling meadows and a massive open space.

Beautiful Blooms at Wildflower Show

— Annette Williams

hanks to some late-winter rain, the Julian countryside is sure to be bursting with color in time for the Julian Woman’s Club Wildflower Show, May 7 to 10. The annual show has been presented for about 100 years and was adopted by the club in 1926. During the show — open daily from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. in Julian Town Hall, 2129 Main St. — Woman’s Club members will be on hand to answer questions about the variety of wildflowers found in the area. This year, in addition to wildflowers, there will be a display of non-native, invasive and undesirable plants. Sharyl Massey, a professional naturalist and member of the board of the Volcan Mountain Foundation, has scheduled

two off-site presentations about how to identify and remove invasive plants. She will appear May 10 at 11 a.m. and 1 p.m. at the Julian Woman’s Club house, 2607 C St., a few blocks from the Wildflower Show. Admission for the show and presentation is free. n

Donations are appreciated, however.” A special opportunity quilt will be on display that is made by the quilt group under the direction of Eleanor Burns, the nationally known quilter of the “Quilt in

— Johnny McDonald

olfers looking for new challenges can now make plans for a return to the beautiful Warner Springs Ranch Resort championship course in midsummer, after completion of more than a year-long renovation program.

In 2015, PHG anticipates reopening the world-famous hot springs pool and other portions of the resort. The Warner Springs Ranch golf course is a 6,850-yard, 18-hole, par-72 championship course surrounded by 60-year-old oak trees, natural vegetation and sweeping views of the area mountain ranges.

the annual Julian Gold Rush Days. Owners of the Julian Mining Company Gina and Ryan Cross, say that mining has become increasingly popular, especially as the price of gold rises. “People want to find gold, and this is a great way to educate them on how,” said Gina, who is coordinating the town’s annual event. Scheduled for Saturday and Sunday, May 31 and June 1, from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. both days, the free event will draw people from near and far. “Normally we charge to pan for gold, but that weekend we will offer free trough panning,” she said, telling how the event is dedicated to preserving

some of the town history when Civil War veterans headed west in hopes of finding fortune. Among the men were cousins Drue Bailey and Mike Julian. Though it was cattleman Fred Coleman who discovered the first flecks of gold in early 1870, the Julian gold rush days were short-lived. Miners lost their patience and turned in their prospecting supplies for farming equipment. Gold Rush Days visitors feeling lucky will have the opportunity to purchase high-grade gold and gem ores, raw dirt

from the mine itself, or pay to participate in gold and gem sluicing. “We want to provide an educational experience for people of all ages who want to see what mining is all about,” said Gina. Gold Rush Days is open to the public and will be presented by Julian Chamber of Commerce at Julian Mining Company, 4444 Highway 78.

Inspiration Point offers a spectacular view.

Scenic Views Draw Visitors

— Ruth Lepper

popular area for checking out the scenic views around Julian is Inspiration Point, a few miles south of town on State Route 79. The view from the point is spectacular. On a clear day, it’s easy to spot the Salton Sea. A large cross was constructed on the site in the 1940s by students from Julian Union High School, under the watchful eye of then-superintendent, Ray

Redding. The property was donated by a local resident. The cross was removed in August 2011 by Caltrans and relocated to private property adjacent to the original site. The plaque remains at what was once the foot of the cross. The removal was prompted by a few passing motorists who objected to the cross on public property. County Supervisor Dianne Jacob reprimanded Caltrans for taking it upon itself to remove the cross without first holding a public forum. It’s a short walk to where the cross now stands, but it’s the view that draws visitors — tourists and locals alike — to this popular spot. n

Julian Wine Country A Hidden Treasure

Photo by Ted W. Snoody TWS Photography

old was once the reason to come to the beautiful, historic mining town of Julian. The old Eagle and High Peak Gold Mine is a testament to days gone by. Today, the mountain’s bounty isn’t gold, it’s apples and wine — both of them distinctive, enjoyable and awardwinning. The wine country of Julian is a hidden treasure. What area wineries do best is provide wonderful wine-tasting venues — from winery-owned tasting rooms serving their own labels, to quaint country inns and gourmet restaurants

serving local wines, microbrews and hard apple cider. Tasting rooms are located throughout the greater Julian area, which encompasses the nearby communities of Warner Springs, Wynola and Ramona. With the exploding prevalence of good wines and expert wineries in San Diego’s backcountry, Julian is becoming a center of the San Diego wine market. Prepare yourself for a truly tasty experience while you enjoy the Old World charm and beauty of this mountain locale. n

Quite possibly the best way to see the shopping district is while riding in a horse-drawn carriage.

Cuyamaca a Year-Round Delight

— Johnny McDonald

bout an hour’s drive from San Diego is a fisherman’s Shangri-la — picturesque, 110-acre Lake Cuyamaca. At an elevation of 4,600 feet in an oak and pine forest, the lake is surrounded on three sides by the 26,000-acre Cuyamaca Rancho State Park, a perfect getaway for a day, a week, or up to 10 nights. Few places in San Diego County offer such pristine views. “We are stocked annually with around 38,000 pounds of rainbow trout,” said Ranger Jay Blaylock. “But we’re thinking about getting some spotted bass.” Fishermen will also find plenty of Florida and smallmouth bass, channel

catfish, crappie, bluegill and sturgeon. He pointed out that they have cleared up the shoreline the last three years. “You can fish almost anywhere around the lake,” he said. “To go onto the lake, we have 32 motorboats, 15 rowboats and some kayaks.” Besides fishing, there are many other activities for avid outdoor folk of all ages, including hiking, camping and bird-watching. Historically, Cuyamaca Dam is the second oldest in California, completed in 1889 to store water that was piped down to San Diego in wooden flumes. Three years later, several species of fish were stocked, and the newly formed reservoir See Cuyamaca a Year-Round Delight Continued on page 58

Julian Strikes a Patriotic Note on July 4th — Bobbi Zane

ulian’s Fourth of July celebration this year honors the Stars and Stripes. Look for the theme, “It’s a Grand Old Flag,” everywhere, but especially along Main Street during the annual parade. Flags will fly along both sides of Main Street, be carried by members of honor guards, waved by spectators and prominently placed on the back of this year’s official T-shirt. But the biggest flag of all will be an enormous Stars and Stripes that will be carried down Main Street.

Excitement builds each July when the whole town turns out to watch what’s been called the “greatest little small-town parade in America.” A home-grown production in its 21st consecutive year, it features Miss Julian and her court; multiple bands; dancing Mountain Tribal Gypsy members; local Boy Scouts and Girl Scouts; bands and singers; antique cars, trucks and tractors; equestrian units; fire engines; and more. The parade steps off at noon on Friday, July 4. Plan to get to Julian early so you can park, have a bite at a local See Julian Strikes a Patriotic Note Continued on page 58

Cuyamaca a Year-Round Delight became a mountain fishery. Over the next few decades, the lake battled dry spells and water shortages, and the fishery was completely wiped out toward the end of World War II. The lake remained unused until the mid1960s, when a new organization — the Lake Cuyamaca Recreation and Park District — was formed and through different projects created a more permanent infrastructure. A dike was built to create a smaller yet deeper lake

Annual Grape Stomp

The Tradition Continues

— Tracy Rolling

ust as grape-stomping is part of the traditional method of winemaking, the Julian Grape Stomp Festa is also a tradition. Unlike mechanical methods of winemaking that use a wine press or other machinery, grape-stomping uses raw manpower to crush the delicate fruit and begin the fermentation process. “It’s a great experience for the whole family,” said Krisie Morgan of the Julian Chamber of Commerce. Describing the one-day gathering as a chance to celebrate the harvest, Morgan explains that locally-grown grapes are blessed before being poured into two massive barrels. “One is for adults, the other for Photo by Carol Kinney

Original Jail Dates Back to 1873 — Ruth Lepper

uilt from local timber at a cost of $199, the original Julian Jail lasted less than two decades. By the end of 1889, it was so deteriorated, law officials were using a nearby livery stable to temporarily house prisoners. When the county, which approved building the jail in late 1872, wouldn’t cough up more funds for improvements, Constable James Jasper started a fundraising drive for a new jail. Another wooden jail was constructed in 1890, and this time it lasted 23 years.

Julian Jail is open to tourists.

Its deterioration in 1913 came about when two prisoners decided to take an early release by kicking their way out through the roof. So it was back to the county to request funds for a more durable jail. Supervisors approved the request, and a

$742,000

concrete jail was built at a cost of $1,021. Construction began in December 1913, and it was completed in two months. The supervisors later approved an additional $62 when it was discovered the original plans did not include a door or windows. The jail, located at Fourth and B streets, still stands today. It was sold by the county in 1952 to the Julian Mutual Water Company to be used as a historic monument for at least 30 years. The water company, however, used the 243-square-foot building for storage. It is now under the care of Julian Historical Society and is open daily for visitors to step inside and have a look around. It was restored in 1994. Information for this article is from “Julian Jail” by Richard M. Zerbe. n

Annual Grape Stomp Continued from page 60

children,” she said, describing how visitors climb into the vats barefooted and stomp the grapes, releasing the juice. Live Italian music plays in the background, and later in the afternoon the genre changes to rock-and-roll and dance music. Other activities occurring simultaneously include bocce ball, wine tasting and shopping at vendor booths chock full of food, crafts and wine, including a vintage produced from previous grape stomps. A jumbo jump is also available for children. Grape Stomp Festa is scheduled for Saturday, Sept. 6, from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. Morgan says she expects nearly 2,000 people to attend the event at Menghini Winery, 1150 Julian Orchards Dr., at the corners of Farmer and Wynola roads, approximately three miles north of Main Street. Admission is $10 for adults 21 and older, $5 for guests ages 6 to 20, and

free for children 5 and under. Parking is also free, as is a commemorative wine glass with paid adult admission, while supplies last. Proceeds from the Chamber fundraiser support marketing the town, cleaning the streets, maintaining public restrooms and funding historic preservation projects. “It’s a good experience to say you stomped on Julian grapes,” says Morgan. “And it’s a great excuse to get up to the country for a day.” n

Hiking Stonewall Peak

— Ruth Lepper

cenic surroundings in the area of a once-active gold mine have now become popular hiking trails in the Cuyamaca Rancho State Park. The trail leading up to Stonewall Peak is two miles long and is described as “moderately difficult.” An experienced hiker can make it to the top in about 45 minutes — less time coming down. The elevation at the peak is 5,730 feet. Horses are allowed on the trails, but, sorry, no dogs. What remains of Stonewall Mine, which can still be observed through a chain-link fence, is just off the parking lot. The mine dates back to 1870, when the property was owned by William Skidmore. A devout Southerner, Skidmore named the mine The Confederate General Thomas Insurance problems? Our agency has over 40 years of local experience!

“Stonewall” Jackson, later shortening it to just the Stonewall Mine when Northern sympathizers began populating the area. The mine has had several owners over the years, including Robert W. Waterman, who was governor of California from 1887 to 1891. The mine and surrounding property now belong to Cuyamaca Rancho State Park. The trailhead is located less than a mile from State Route 79, about 11 miles from Julian. Parking is plentiful, and a restroom is nearby. Camping is available a short distance away, south on SR-79 at Paso Picacho campground. A small building, similar to what was in use in the early days of the mining operation, has displays of numerous old photos and compiled information about the history of Stonewall Mine and Cuyamaca City. n
