    This adobe is so beautiful, and there's so much history to learn! It's free but they do allow…read moredonations. Walking in I was greeted by a really sweet lady who gave me a tour of the house and explained the story of the house in so much detail. All of the furniture was amazing and the house itself was beautiful. It was fascinating hearing the stories about what went on in each room. They even have a spot in the wall where you can see the original adobe, that was super cool! Check out this hidden gem if you're in the area, it's a great story and a beautiful property.

    I highly recommend the walking excursion from Rancho Bernardo (starting from the Lake Hodge bridge)…read moreto the Sikes Adobe Historic Farmstead. It takes around 45 minutes at a slow/normal pace and is not only a great workout on a sunny day, but also you will see how well connected is Rancho Bernardo with that initial portion of Escondido. I saw the Adobe house before and after remodeling and I have to say the job done is amazing. Besides, the volunteers and staff working there are very knowledgeable and explain all you want to know about the history of the house, the family that lived there and the incipient population of SD North County, without overwhelming you. The rooms are very nicely decorated and you feel like you are transported to another era, but they don't forget the modern times and I was impressed the first time I went to discover they had an elevator for wheelchair users, so that is a total plus for visitors with disabilities. Sometimes there is a farmers market on Sundays, so the whole thing makes a very nice excursion from-to Rancho Bernardo. By bicycle is also very pleasant, but be ready to find on the way tons of real bicyclists in groups, so watch out the traffic and you will see bridges with different eyes (you will pass below the freeway!).

    It's a shame that the San Pasqual Battlefield State Park is currently closed for restoration and…read moremaintenance. As a history buff, I enjoy visiting here, the site of the only Mexican American War battle fought in the United States (December 6, 1846). It has a nice Visitor Center, public restrooms, and walking trails in the 50-ish acre park. This is also the ancestral land of the First People, the Kumeyaay. Part of the park restoration is to incorporate the history, culture, and traditional ecological knowledge of the Kumeyaay people into the Park's Visitor Center and trails. I'm looking forward to seeing the results when the park reopens.

    I was sorely disappointed to see this park was closed. It is closed supposedly for restoration, but…read morethere was no evidence anything had been done since it was closed due to Covid. The trail was walkable but neglected. The parking lot and driveways were full of weeds. There were lovely picnic tables and an attractive visitor center, all unused. Having read about the harrowing experience of Kit Carson as he snuck, barefoot, past sleeping Californians in the dark to walk to Stockton 30 miles away in San Diego harbor, I was anxious to be able to walk the battlefield to get a feel for what must have happened there. Unfortunately, the park was shuttered tight, probably to never open again. When there seem to be plenty of volunteers who would do what it takes to keep this park open, it's closure is a big disappointment. To ignore such an important part of our history is a sad statement on the government of CA. In the meantime, the path was very interesting and the walk to the top was wonderful and offered beautiful views of the San Pasqual Valley and epic, ancient prickly pear cactus. For that reason, it is worth it to visit this park.
