I didn't have a wedding this weekend. So I went to Port Hueneme (Oxnard) beach to test my new equipment.
I took this on top of the fairy's wheel during Camarillo Fiesta 2007. Oh how I wished the weather was clearer.
Conejo Grade (AKA Camarillo Grade) separates West & East Ventura County. During the Summer season the West side is about 10 degrees cooler than the East side. You can actually see the temperature going down as you go over the Grade.
Conejo Grade is exactly 2 miles. It takes 2 full minutes to go up and down.
Although this is a huge mountain 2 miles on freeway is not that much. Still, there are a lot of people making a big deal out of going over this grade.
Once I had a job at Westlake Village. I had a co-worker commuting from Simi Valley. When she learned that I commuted from Camarillo (drive over the Conejo Grade), she commented how far I drove every day. So I said, "It's not that far, it's only 15 miles away". She looked at me and said, "But, you drive over the Grade". I didn't say anything to her, but that's when I realized some people hate to drive over the Camarillo Grade.

I have noticed something interesting at Mission Oaks Plaza. Some of the trees had unusually black barks, as if they were burnt a long time ago.
So I took a closer look.
And I took off a piece of the skin. This is what I saw
I see these black tree barks all over Camarillo. I see them at Arneil Road, close to Albertson as well.
I assume that there was a big fire a long time a go. They burnt the skins but didn't kill the trees. A lot of trees are carrying the scars now. It was a fascinating found for me.
I tried to look up local history for wild fire, but I couldn't find any. If these trees can talk...
