pyles peak

i think i found the emptiest place in the city of san diego.  after muddling through my french final exam, i decided to reward myself by hiking up cowles mtn, and then continuing on to pyles peak.  while i love to see so many people out enjoying nature, anyone who is from san diego has to admit that cowles mtn is something of an anthill.  secret: after you reach the rest of the crowds celebrating their success at reaching the summit, follow the signs for pyles peak.  the trail is pretty much empty and after less than a mile and a half you find yourself on top of a wee little flower covered mountain.  really quite peaceful.  i sunned myself like a lizard on a rock and enjoyed the sensation of being a mile away from anybody.
