That would be further down by Escondido John, San Pascual (close to the Wild Animal Park), at least as far as the battle goes. Not sure about Civil War POW camps.

If y'all wanted to do Temecula, that would permit a nice drive through the De Luz Canyon area, nice narrow twisties on a road that is basically unimproved since 1934 (WPA/CERA project of Mr. Roosevelt), follows the old stage route between Fallbrook and Murrieta. Or even a leisurely drive through the wine country, but beware it do get hot here.

As far as parks go, we have the Sports Park, free and ample parking but little shade. Or Lake Skinner, but that costs to enter and it's even hotter out there. We do have a number of smaller parks/greenways, but would have to check on the parking situation. Unfortunately we are taking off for the Northwoods on Sunday and will be gone for 2 weeks (time to check on the property and install a couple gates, plus a little fishing), so very little time for research.

I'm not opposed to the drive to Diamond Bar/Brea, or even Casper Park on the Ortega - no kids have been eaten by mountain lions for years there.
