It's hard to pinpoint, but you have to do a bit of bushwacking to find them. Many are actually not in washes or creeks areas, but on dry rocky chaparral covered ridge tops and knolls, which is further away from water sources, even temporary runoffs.

I imagine all the smog has wrecked havoc on them. We hardly ever get out there anymore, but there are many, many more vineyards in Temecula now. Frankly, I prefer Spanish reds and Alsatian wines, although I also love Zinfandel!trav4adventureshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03411656522344925200noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1964420214422931785.post-25329711682793719232013-01-21T08:32:30.387-08:002013-01-21T08:32:30.387-08:00And, yes, I remember the Pinyon Flats area fire. ...And, yes, I remember the Pinyon Flats area fire.

We weren't hit by any water in 1976, but in 1979, when I had a 1 year old and when I was pregnant with our son, our home in Palm Desert was flooded. I was alone at the time (my husband was in Los Angeles on business) and I had to grab our daughter, my purse, and our German Shepherd and get out of our house. Fortunately, the house stood (we are still living in it) and some firemen let us stay at their house that night. It was scary. And, YES, I'm sure those canyons, especially Deep Canyon, carried that water to the Salton Sea. We really haven't had rains like that since, but I still get nervous during the monsoon season every time it rains up in the Santa Rosa mountains!
