— Tracy Rolling
R amona isn’t just a quaint country town loaded with things to do, people to see, and places to go.
It’s a horse town — brimming with sincere folks, abundant history and relentless community spirit.
With ranches and horse property galore, Ramona boasts two equestrian centers and an abundance of trails to choose from.
It’s also home to some of the most generous people on the planet, do-gooders who are active in organizations such as Ramona Chamber of Commerce, Rotary, Kiwanis, Soroptimist International, Ramona Food and Clothes Closet and Ramona Senior Center.
Many are responsible for arrang-ing local events, such as the annual Christmas Tree Lighting, Town Hall Christmas dinner, and the trendy Artist Open Studios Tour.
Rich in history, Ramona was once considered the turkey capital of the world. Today, it offers visitors a friend-ly a place to stop and stay awhile, as they plan a tour of the museum, enjoy delicious meals from area restaurants
and peruse local stores. Consumers will find their choice of merchants, from charming antique and crafts stores, to clothing boutiques and booksellers.
Outdoor enthusiasts will find a handful of parks, including Dos Picos County Park, which offers overnight camping, catch-and-release fishing and other seasonal activities. There are two regulation golf courses and too many hiking trails to name.
Wine connoisseurs will discover more than two-dozen tasting rooms stocked with award-winning wines and offering breathtaking views and an opportunity to spot native wildlife.
Patriotism remains a focal point, as Rotary volunteers position nearly 70 flags along Main Street on most patriotic holidays, and Ramona VFW Post 3783 welcomes former and current members of the military.
In addition, Ramona Airport offers aviators a pleasant place to land and has a museum open to the public.
With Ramona’s countless programs for children and adults, it’s safe to say townspeople and visitors alike will find Ramona loaded with horses, heart and tons of town spirit. n

Winter, spring, summer or fall — it’s a rare week in Ramona when the sun doesn’t shine. Here are a few ways to while away a sunny day:
u The Ramona Valley AVA (American Viticultural Area) is home to thriving vineyards of all sizes, with local wines available in stores and tasting rooms.
u Peruse antique shops for treasures, many of which have been discovered in the homes and barns of longtime Ramona residents.
u Shop for handcrafted items and original works of art from Ramona’s talented artists and artisans.
u Enjoy a satisfying meal or snack in one of Ramona’s full-service restaurants or casual dining establishments.
u Order your food to-go and feast in the ambiance of a nearby park shaded by trees established generations ago.
u Spectacular views are in every direction, and you may even catch a glimpse of the birds and wildlife that make Ramona their home.
u View exceptional murals that grace the exteriors of four local businesses on Main Street, between Third and 11th streets.
u Horse riding or hiking on one of the many area trails is a wonderful way to enjoy a sunny day.
u Travel back to days gone by with a visit to the Guy B. Woodward Museum on Main Street.
u Make a reservation to learn about camels and maybe even ride one on a tour of Oasis Camel Dairy.
u Watch planes come and go at Ramona Airport — one of the busiest in the county — and tour the Classic Rotors helicopter museum.
u Ramona offers two 18-hole golf courses — more than most small towns can boast.
u Watch a drag race at Barona 1/8th Mile Drags, just outside of town on Wildcat Canyon Road.
u And last but not least, attend one or all of Ramona’s fun community events held throughout the year. You’ll find them listed in this issue of The Guide to Ramona.

At the same time, winemakers are being invited to prestigious events, such as the annual San Diego Press Club Awards and the Boys and Girls Clubs of Greater San Diego fundraiser.
Ramona Valley Vineyard Association President Micole Moore said, “We are also involved with the Poway Performing Arts Center and pour at various events, including the Santee Bluegrass Festival and the recent Ramona Art & Wine Festival, whose mission is to help raise money for local murals.”

more grapes in the ground. We are not going to be huge; we want to stay intimate, rural and nice. But certainly we want to divert some of the traffic from the Temecula region and continue to spread the word.”
Documented as a community that produces high-quality grapes due to the unique weather microclimate that offers warmer days and cooler nights, the region was officially dubbed the Ramona Valley American Viticulture Area in January 2006.
Moore says new vineyards and wineries are being developed regularly
and encourages people to give Ramona tasting rooms a try. n

Visitors driving our backcountry roads have something new to see, with recent quilt block installations
sponsored by the Julian Backcountry Quilt Trail.
A quilt trail is a driving route along which property owners have decorated their businesses, barns, out-buildings or residences with painted quilt squares viewable from the road. They are unique reflections of the areas they cover.
The local quilt trail is the first in Southern California and only the third in the state, according to the Julian Woman’s Club, which is spearheading the effort. About a dozen colorful designs now adorn buildings from Ramona to Julian.
In Ramona, the squares have been installed along Highway 78 on Tulloch Ranch and Star B Ranch, both in the 28000 block, and others are in the planning stages.

Ranch in November. PHOTO BY DARREL KInnEY

Ramona is often thought of as a sleepy town situated in the foothills above San Diego. But only a short
drive from San Diego’s main thorough-fares you will discover a number of home communities established here.
Ramona’s oldest planned community is San Diego Country Estates (SDCE), built in 1970, on more than 3,250 acres of land in the San Vicente Valley. It is about six miles southeast of downtown Ramona. At the time it was established, all of Ramona had a population of only 5,000 people, and three families lived in the San Vicente Valley. Today, SDCE boasts a population of about 10,000 people who occupy more than 3,600 homes and condominiums.
Near San Diego Country Estates is the Rancho San Vicente community, formerly known as Ryland Homes. Residents of the single-family homes enjoy beautiful views and access to open spaces.
Rancho Santa Teresa Estates on the east end of town has its own water district, which is sourced from a substantially producing well. The homes are located on a minimum

of eight acres.Oak Tree Ranch in eastern Ramona
is a private residential community that is unique, due being a land-lease neighborhood of manufactured homes. Santa Maria Creek flows through the property from Sutherland Dam.
One of the newest home communi-ties is Black Canyon Estates, also on the east end of town, with 35 single-family, semi-custom estate homes located off Black Canyon Road. It offers rural living in a picturesque setting.
The Moaunt Woodson home community, on the west end of town off Highway 67, was developed around the historic Amy Strong Castle and features a country club and golf course.
Other local subdivisions and neighborhoods include Holly Oaks Ranch, off Dye Road, and Rancho Ramona Mobile Home Park and Ramona Terrace Estates senior mobile
home park, both on H Street.Ramona exudes small-town charm
while providing beautiful homes and communities where families can live, work and play. n

Response by European and Canadian visitors has reinforced the popularity of the Guy B.
Woodward Museum, according to museum Director Ken Woodward.
He said they cater to the people who like to journey and visit all museums, and those staying in the San Diego Country Estates timeshares.
“They sometimes come here thinking this might be one house with some dinky displays,” he said. But after he takes them on a tour, he proves just the opposite.
When they arrive, he says, “I ask them if they have some time, because my tour might last as long as two hours. When they complete the tour, I’d hear them say, ‘My gosh, I can’t believe what you people have done here.’”
Woodward, who is maintaining and adding to his late father’s collections, said he is always willing to serve.
“Saturday and Sundays, I’m always here,” he assured.
He said people learn about the museum through the Internet. When they visit Ramona, they ask if there’s anything to do in this area, and the museum is often mentioned.
A prized collection of 550 books on the subject of Voices of Pioneer Women is now in beautifully designed cases in the country schoolhouse.
“Several years ago, we acquired these from a lady in Lemon Grove who had the books all over her house,” he said. “After cataloging them, we established a book club so that they could be checked out like a library.”
These books cover biographies, letters and many other things recorded by women over 200 years, chronicling their journeys westward.
The museum doesn’t keep records of the number of people who visit, but Woodward indicated there seem to be more visitors this year. n

Ramona Town Hall was a vibrant and active place in its heyday, but for a number of years it
stood unused. Recent renovations, however, have resulted in its rebirth as a community treasure.
Exciting changes include the installation of turn-of-the-century antique reproduction light fixtures, shown at right, fabricated by Woody Kirkman, owner of W.T. Kirkman Lanterns, and the restoration of the East and West wings, once again being used a meeting spot for groups and a site for special events.
The historic facility was dedicated at 729 Main St. on Feb. 22, 1894, as a gift from local benefactors Augustus and Martha Barnett. It originally served as the location for dances and a public library, and became the primary gathering place for local
events and much more. “A Country Christmas” turkey
dinner, will be held in Town Hall on Dec. 12. The dinner harkens back to the original Town Hall Christmas Dinner held when the building was brand new. Tickets are $65, available only in advance and limited to guests age 21 and older. Period 1890s attire is encouraged. Call 760-789-0574 or visit www.ramonatownhall.com. n

the many activities. Bakarich praised the volunteers at the registration desk who make visitors feel at home when they come to Ramona Senior Center.
The most popular activity takes place at 1 p.m. every Thursday. Bingo! That’s it — bingo games with cash prizes. Volunteers rearrange the tables after lunch as the players file in, purchasing packets of bingo cards and lining up their daubers to mark the numbers as they are called.
Jackpots may reach $250 before a winner calls out the magic word. In addition to the games, there are drawings for door prizes throughout the afternoon.
A close second to bingo is pokeno. It draws crowds to the center at 1 p.m. on Fridays. If other card games are of more interest, try pinochle on Friday mornings or bridge on Wednesday afternoons.
Several craft activities fill up the weekly calendar. The quilting group
has a regular following. There also are machine embroidery groups and lace and crocheting groups.
For the more hardy, a walking group on Tuesday mornings is followed by yoga classes. Exercise classes meet three days a week, on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays.
The center, which recently celebrated its 40th year, is located at 434 Aqua Ln. It is open from 8:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. weekdays. n

Though Old Survey Road 97 is a challenge to find on the GPS or in a Thomas Guide map book, it was
once a gateway to Ramona. Established at the end of the 18th
century, the road ran from Escondido to the western part of Ramona. Some of its historic travelers included Native American Indians, the infamous Kit
Carson, and soldiers who fought in the Battle of San Pasqual.
It was also traveled by Old West wagons, stagecoaches, postal carriers, and eventually automobiles. Even gold miners eager to stake their claim commuted on the road, heading for the gold mining town of Julian.
In 1875, the wide, well-graded dirt road was declared a public highway for

the second time, bringing all who were determined to reach Ramona and parts of the backcountry.
In the early 1900s, the road was paved and considered a main through-way. In 1930, it was abandoned and replaced with an alternate route, known as Highway 78.
Today, members of the Ramona Trails Association (RTA) are working toward converting the historic road into a hiking and equestrian trail.
“It’s a legitimate road,” said RTA Board Member Glen Morgan, hopeful legislators will find a way to reopen it to the public.
The proposed trail would stretch from the west end of Ramona to San Pasqual Valley near Escondido and intersect the Coast to Crest Trail, which runs alongside Lake Hodges and through Rancho Santa Fe and parts of Del Mar. It would offer outdoor enthusiasts another starting point on the scenic route from the country to the coastline.
While the RTA has experienced roadblocks, Morgan remains optimis-tic, saying that reopening the road would be a matter of unlocking some gates and rerouting the tail end of the trail to accommodate a supportive property owner.
As they pursue this project, RTA members envision the dust on Old Survey Road 97 will one day be converted into happy trails. n
