Ivy, Fremont, Cherry Croft....... Do you know these places?

How many posts can I write about the beauty of Yucaipa???  Too many.......  Well today was no different than our prior walks.  A part of Yucaipa that Jill Caballero had NEVER been to.  She was amazed at the beautiful landscaping, spacious homes, the open land all around and the gorgeous views of the Yucaipa Valley from the top of this area.

Our 3 mile walk started at the very top of Ivy (we would have gone further up except for the NO TRESPASSING & PRIVATE ROAD signs) and came down to Jefferson, Cherry Croft and Fremont.  The Fall colors were out in full force up at this elevation.  Simply.......BEAUTIFUL!!!

Long quiet roads.......

Single lane roads leading nowhere!!

Beautiful backroads of Yucaipa

More beauty along our walks!

Fall colors......

The road ends here!!

This is such a beautiful area of our little town!!!

More Fall colors!!

HEY.... It's Jill Squared!!

ANOTHER GLORIOUS SUNSET OVER YUCAIPA!

Tomorrow we will be finishing this area.  Meet us at 4:15 at Ivy and Cherry Croft.  We will be walking 3.5 miles (downhill) to Bryant!!!  

Lions and Tigers and Bears....OH MY!!!

....... Ok, well maybe it wasn't Lions and Tigers and Bears but it definitely was Donkeys, Cows, Horses and Dogs (big dogs, little dogs, yapping dogs, aggressive dogs and tail wagging friendly dogs)!!!!  So needless to say, this was a cold, brisk, windy walk full of animals!!!

Our walk tonight was, to say the least, COLD!!!  We started up on Juniper and Bryant and wound our way down to Ivy and the lower part of Juniper before we headed back up Bryant Street to where we began.  There is a nice little bike lane along Bryant so we felt safe, but it was still nice having Jill Caballero in the lead with her reflective vest on!!!

Overall, this 3.58 mile walk is not one that I would recommend due to the traffic on Bryant and a couple dogs that, although they were initially on their property, had opened gates and decided they did not like us walking past their houses (just a note to pet owners - keep your pets behind gates or fences)!!!

With only an hour of sunlight. Our walks are short and quick,
but these sunsets are beautiful!

This cute guy came runny to the fence to greet us!!

His buddy didn't want to be left out of the pictures!!

Beautiful homes and landscapes in this area.
Large ranch style homes with lots of horse
property!!!  Very peaceful and gorgeous views!!

...and you thought I was joking about the reflective vest!!

Almost missed this little street, but we got it!

 

Sunsetting over Yucaipa!!  God's beauty!!

We will be back on our journey to WALK EVERY STREET IN YUCAIPA on Wednesday.  We will be tackling Ivy and all the little streets that run off of it.  I anticipate this area taking us at least two days, but we would love to have you join us.

Rolling through them hills

It was a beautiful crisp Saturday morning today and our walk took us 7.67 miles - up, down and around Rolling Hills and El Dorado Mobile Home Park.If you aren't familiar with this area, it is just northeast of Yucaipa Regional Park and Yucaipa Community Park.

This lovely well established neighborhood has sidewalks and minimal traffic, especially in the early morning, so it's a great area to walk.  Be prepared for some steady inclines as you go up Sunnyside towards Bryant, but count it as a good calorie burn.

Our "WAR ROOM" .  Ever wonder how we keep track of where we've
been and where we need to go?  Well here it is!!

Starting our walk at Ridgeview Elementary!
Go ROADRUNNERS!!

Beautiful scenes from Rolling Hills.  Love the fall colors in the trees!!

A beautiful sunrise!!!

An early morning view of Crafton Hills.

Our dried up aqua duct.  Hoping El Nino fills this up for us!!

El Dorado - A well maintained Senior Citizen mobile home park.
Lot's of people out for their morning walks and everyone was so friendly. 

This sticker is on a lot of mobile homes in this park.
It says Yucaipa Rotary on it but we are curious
as to what the symbol means?  Any ideas?

This beautiful succulent garden is at the end of a cul-de-sac.  A lot of love and attention went into this planter
and we fell in love with it.  Simply BEAUTIFUL!!

       

Every walk we find change.  Here is our find today!!!

Monday at 4:15pm,  we will be starting our walk at North Juniper and Bryant.  This will be a short 3 miles walk, if you want to join us!!!  Thank you for following our journey as WE WALK EVERY STREET IN YUCAIPA!!!

Did ya miss us.......

Sorry we were off the streets for so long but WE ARE BACK!!!!  Our quest to WALK EVERY STREET IN YUCAIPA has taken us up into the North Bench area (not familiar with that area - its north of Grape, south of Highway 38).  This area is actually east of Bryant Street as well.

Anyway, a beautiful, slightly difficult, 3.5 miles.  There are hills along this route but the views make it so worth it.  The homes in this area are quite lovely too!!!

Come walk with us!!!!  Saturday morning we will be meeting at Ridgeview Elementary School at 7:00am.  This is going to be a vigorous 5 - 6 mile walk.  We would love for you to join us!!!

Trying to beat the sunset with our walks.
But it makes for gorgeous views!!

Looks like a Boat Graveyard!!!!  Interesting...

Love these homes!!  Yucaipa has some real beauties!!

Another beautiful home.  Maybe it's your's????

Yucaipa Ridge.....  YEP, we walked it!!

Jill Squared.....  

Meeting friends along our walks!!!  Hi Kasaundra!!

THIS is why we love our town!!!
God's beauty everywhere we walk!

Feeling the chill in the air........ all through Yucaipa!!!

Welcome back!!  After taking a few days off while Jill Caballero decided she needed to travel to Missouri to visit her boys, we are right back at our quest to WALK EVERY STREET IN YUCAIPA. 

This beautiful crisp Fall day's walk took us along the final streets in the Dunlap area - starting at 16th and Dunlap.  We traveled Kentucky, 15th and 16th before heading west on Dunlap Road and winding back where we began.  With the time change, our walks are going to be a bit shorter but this was a nice 3.16 mile route.  

A tiny bit of Yucaipa trivia.......  we all know that Yucaipa is known for their MANY mobile home parks...right??  And remember, Jill Caballero decided we were walking EVERY street inside EVERY mobile home park.....  So.... how many mobile home parks do you think are in the Dunlap area (west of Oak Glen, south of Avenue E and north of the freeway)????  The answer surprised me... but it's ONE!!!!  Yep.... just one park in this entire area!!  I guess that means we are in for a lot of mobile home parks as we move to a different area of town!!!  

Red sky at night....sailor's delight!!!

Fall has arrived over Yucaipa.

Have you seen the Adobe in town?  Take a drive a check it out.
Wonderful piece of history.

Greeted by many dogs in this area.
Just warning us that they were there!!!

Another "alley" type street in town, but, YEP, we walked it!!

Oak Glen & 14th Street at sunset!!

Chapman..... CHECK
Dunlap ........ CHECK
Crafton ....... CHECK
Stanley Ranch...... CHECK

Now where do we go????  I guess NORTH BENCH sounds good.  See you tomorrow at 4:15pm at Topaz and Bryant!!!!
