Kelvin aka Fitzgerald discovers Mt. Helix
September 13, 2005
As was planed, my online acquaintance joined me to finally
„discover“ Mt. Helix, one of my „must visit“ places when I’m in San Diego.
Now, who is „Fitzgerald“? Well he’s a guy with a blog… one of the
many blogs at the now defunct site „journalspace.com“. I found out he was from my hometown, and when he wrote an entry in his
journal about Mt. Solidad, I mentioned Mt. Helix, and he mentioned he’d never been up there. So, together with his wife, we had a date!!
had keeping his eyes on the road! The view is just soooo marvelous!
and this is the whole view from THE rock! |
They both also got to meet my parents. But first, they met my folks and my home. I knew that he and my dad would hit it off right away because they are both „Navy“ and Fitz was thrilled at all the Navy memories and books, etc., that my dad has collected, and Fitz deals in collecting Navy stuff!

We stopped at a popular bread store on the way. At the desert we wanted to walk through „Palm Canyon“ a neat place to visit. But on the day we were there the path was partly closed because of weather events some days before.
