Blue Sky Ecological Reserve is open
Blue Sky, which has been closed since the Witch Creek fire last October, opened today. Amber was excited to be going someplace new. Blue Sky is three houses and across Espola Road from our home and we were curious to see how much Blue Sky had come back after the fire. We’re extremely grateful for the firemen who held the fire at Espola Road.
There were quite a few people, maybe 20 or so, hiking but not nearly as many as I expected on opening day. We decided to stay on the road above the creek rather than taking the trail alongside the creek which had much poison oak. The trail was visible from the road and everyone we saw was taking the road except for what appeared to be a Poway Community Services photographer. Everyone was friendly and seemed happy that Blue Sky was finally open.
