November 10th - Day (?) trip over the hill

We took a trip over Mt. Laguna to play MTG with my brother's group.  We drove in, got a hotel, played all night, hit a few stores the next day and went back home.  It was a lot of fun and there was some great sky pretties.  We stopped at the Golden Acorn ("Home of the 7.77 prime rib!") Casino on the way home for dinner.  The famous 7.77 prime rib was like a 6 oz cut. We ordered a larger cut and took half home.   The Golden Acorn is like the halfway point between San Diego and El Centro.  It's also at the highest elevation of the drive over the hill.  We ahd fun and our little travel cat was typically unhappy about it.
