Desert Thistle Amazing what kind of blossoms you can still find in the Mount Laguna area in July, above 5000 FT Elevation, at about 100F.
This was shot just south of the Cuyapaipe Reservation, which was established on February 10, 1891, following the executive order of January 12, 1891. The Cuyapaipe Reservation is located 10 miles north of Interstate 8, and 68 miles east of San Diego in Pine Valley and the Laguna Mountains in the southeastern part of San Diego county.

The Ewiiaapaayp Band's resources are limited to water. The largest obstacles to economic development at the Cuyapaipe Indian Reservation are the geographic remoteness of the reservation, the lack of adequate access roads with a single access road that is unpaved, narrow, and steeply graded, and the complete lack of utilities (no electricity, gas, telephone, or waste water systems).
