Feby 3rd. Went out through national city and chula Vista to Otay. and from there to Otay Reservoir. the road was not very good. not very interesting not very high hills, but more nothing quite a lot of land was ploughed and ready for grain. At Otay Dam it was very nice with the water and the mountains back of them, we drove across the Dam and back. also saw the filtering plant the man in charge showed us all around it was very interesting. the water from there is what we drink in San Diego. we came back another road through Telegraph Canyon, to Chula Vista, and home by National Avenue.
