Angela and I attended a wedding reception in Palm springs the weekend before last. On our way home I decided we should take slight detour through a town I've always wanted to see, Idylldwild, CA. This tiny hamlet is located in the San Jacinto Mountains, about 2 hours away from our home in Hollywood. Angela and I absolutely fell in love with this place. The smell of burning firewood, the roving gangs of weekend warrior bikers. We enjoyed a calzone in a small market that was the best I've ever had.
Our first discovery in town was this happy little deer. There were several of these fella's sprinkled about.
Isn't he just a darling?
Above is the town monument. Basically take every mainly mountain animal you can think of and carve them out of one tree. Some how I guess you have to offset all the frilly little deer flutting about town.
And if the monument won't do it perhaps painting a car on it will.
This is a nice store if you need an expensive hat.
A shot of the main drag
Look, a tiny first run theater!
In case you were wondering, we have been looking at property in Idyllwild. We found a reasonable mobile home in a nice community. The only problem is that it's a 55+ park. Again in life we find ourselves in need of some fake IDs.

What a cute little town! Mom and Dad can be co-signors for you to get that Mobile Home!
I want to buy a vacation home there!
