Day trip from your Mission Valley condo
into San Diego County's back country

If you're looking for a nice day trip within San Diego County, you're in luck!

The Potrero Library will be celebrating its tenth anniversary on Saturday, March 12, with live music and food, beginning at noon. Who can resist food?

The Library is located at 24883 Potrero Valley Road, and you can get more information by calling 619-478-5978.

This would make a great day trip because the Library is out off of Highway 94 which is a beautiful, winding road through the backcountry of San Diego County. Along with cows and horses, if you make it a leisurely drive, it's entirely possible that you'll see deer, rabbits, and many different species of birds, including falcons, osprey, vultures, woodpeckers, and turkeys.

If you plan your trip properly, you can also visit the Campo Depot of the Pacific Southwest Railway Museum. The Campo Depot is located at Highway 94 and Forest Gate Road:

There you'll be able to see many historic railroad cars and engines, including several steam engines, and even take a ride on a historic train.

If you exit Highway 94, also known as Campo Road, at Forest Gate Road, you'll be able to find the Railway Museum because there are many signs pointing you in the right direction:

 
The gift shop has a nice selection of railroad books, trains, and other railroad memorabilia.

For more information about the Museum, including hours, excursions, and ticket prices, visit the Pacific Southwest Railway Museum web site.
