1 Jamul, in or on the rocks, a mansion with no yard!!
2 Campo, I totally love this house, would love a tour, they have definitely made use of the existing resources. Bet there's a bunch of $$$$ involved here!

5 The Chinese Palace Jacumba, CA
Quite a story involved here, we were able to go on a tour of it with the new owners, it's really something, so much history here.

18 Does anyone know what this is?
I kept seeing this beautiful green plant with white flowers all over the brownness that's the desert. I decided I'd go dig some up and move them to the 93 as they were so pretty. But what were they?
Well - it's Jimson Weed, aka Datura Stramoniumin, in the nightshade family. So if you're out playing survivalist and decide that this looks yummy plan to take a trip that you might not come back from anytime soon, not to mention the green fairies that you see along the way.

21 Jacumba Hot Springs and Spa
Two gorgeous pools, both fed by underground hot mineral springs. You haven't lived until you've floated in this pool, it's paradise. When you get in these pools the water feels like liquid silk, no kidding, it's amazing, warm as bath water.

22 There's a lodge at the spa, people come from San Diego and other areas for a day or the weekend to soak in these amazing waters.
23 The lodge rooms go around one of the pools in a U-shape.

24 The other pool, pristine and warm and smooth as silk.
