I’m down in San Diego visiting some relatives and I’ve been doing weekly hikes with an old friend. We hike in a box canyon in what seems like the only place that hasn’t been turned into a housing tract or a strip mall…

When we got out to a certain spot, I recalled that I had explored here as a kid some time in the early 1980s and that I recognized this old car. Of course now there are a lot of houses on the hilltops that weren’t there then. As a matter of fact, this car was in a pretty remote area that you had to hike quite some ways to get to—well, that’s at least the way I remember it.

I guess this photo sums up the way I feel about the fact that San Diego is developing into a small Los Angeles with its perverse dedication to the automobile.
