 A Year in the
Cuyamacas
Author: Leland Fetzer
Pages: 224
Dimensions: 9” x 6” x .5”
Publisher: Tecolote Publications
Book Description: Taken from the author’s introduction: In
1988 my wife and I bought two and a half acres of wooded land on the
front of North Peak in the Cuyamaca Mountains at an altitude of
4,300 feet about fifty miles from San Diego and eight miles from the
nearest town, Julian. The place is reasonably remote, reachable
only by a mile’s drive off a paved county road, Engineers Road, over
gravel and dirt lanes through the trees. We bought it to find
living room and as a station to observe stars, weather, and nature.
However, after I had written a half dozen essays I became
dissatisfied with my project. Imperceptibly, the lessons in natural
history had become personal essays, although I never allowed myself
to forget that I was not writing about myself, but the land, above
all. One reason I broadened the book’s intention, is that the cabin
we later built does not rise in wilderness where nature makes an
exclusive claim on the land. I the district humans have lived for
thousands of years, leaving their marks. The authentic subject of
this book is a westward-tilting triangle of land about forty miles
from San Diego as the crow flies with its corners at Cuyamaca Rancho
State Park; Pine Hills, an older subdivision southwest of Julian;
and Boulder Creek Road that snakes west of Cuyamaca Peak. Each leg
of the triangle is about ten miles long, and so the triangle closes
about fifty square miles of slopes gentle and precipitous, birds,
reptiles, and mammals, silted-up farm ponds, meadows, chaparral,
roads, a few year-round streams, small and large houses, many oaks
and pines, forgotten prospect holes, Indian dwelling sites and
reservations, rusted barbed wire, and perhaps three hundred
residents, man, woman, and child, a sum that swells considerably on
week-ends. At the heart of the triangle stands our newly built
cabin.
I have found great pleasure in exploring this plot’s places, known and
obscure, and then writing about them. Perhaps, reading these
essays, you might share some of that pleasure with me. I would be
happy, too, if this book encourages others to write about a tract of
western land they prize; the West needs it’s known places and all
too often suffers for their absence.
