I have managed to beg out of a reception tonight. I'll be in search of some local Messican fare.

From what I've read most don't understand that California mountains aren't solid like most ranges. They are little more than piles of loose rock refuse and easily fall apart when it rains or from earthquake vibrations.
With no vegetation there to hold this loose rock and soil in place, it invariably turns into a slurry of paste and muck, overwhelming anything in its path.
