Cajon Pass Photo
Collection June 17, 1986 |
| by Werner Meer, Switzerland |
Note: The copyright belongs to this gentleman. Do not use any photos without written permission.
| Back in 1986 digital photography did not exist. Therefore, a good friend of mine took the time to scan my old negatives. A big thank you goes to Marc Rossire. Well, colors and quality are sometimes not the best but on the other hand, I can show what happend back in the old days in and around Cajon Pass. |
| This trip, my Swiss friend Ruedi Mueller came along. |
