The Santee Firefighter Association's Tap Truck was a huge highlight, and there were tons of other awesome sponsors like Cox Cable, Barona Casino, and European Cake Gallery.

Already looking forward to next year it's totally worth it :) Make sure to bring your friends and family. Huge thanks to Santee for putting on such a fantastic event!

After our extensive and detailed tour, we felt it was definitely worthy of a donation. We arrived at opening time, parked outside along the fence and rang the bell. A staff member came out (Classic Rotors is run by volunteers) and immediately started giving us a tour, starting with a couple of planes outside and then continuing inside. We didn't know at that point the tour would be 3 hours (!) but the volunteers were a wealth of information and told a variety of interesting stories behind many of the aircraft, which really brought them to life. Some helicopters have a TV running, displaying the aircraft in flight. You cannot enter any of the aircraft. There are men's and women's restrooms and a small gift shop. Don't forget to sign the guest book and leave a donation! Free parking. Note: This is not a child-friendly museum. My husband who is aviation was pleasantly surprised by the extensiveness of this museum. Suggestions to the museum: Offer SCHEDULED 90-minute tours at certain times of the day (say 2-3 times a day). Make your hours and visiting information immediately apparent on your web site. I had to dig for it! Offer an audio tour or informational sign boards for those interested in a self-guided tour. Offer a variety of things in the gift shop like helicopter Legos, soft logo T-shirts, models, magnets, Christmas ornaments and other helicopter related items. Offer a fridge of beverages and snacks/ice-creams for sale or have a couple of outdoor picnic tables on-site. Offer coupons for nearby Ramona restaurants or wineries. Offer a head-in-the hole or 'Insta' photo opportunity with the name of the museum on it somewhere that people will post to social media to promote the museum. Promote through social media and marketing. I have spoken to several people in aviation since our visit and none of them are aware of the museum. :) Was this review helpful?

I love food and the variety and quality of food that is offered at the annual Santee Bluegrass Festival is a perfect match for food lovers. They have everything for every type of craving. The carnivores (me) were able to have our palettes satisfied by Slaters 50/50 signature patties, which is 50% ground bacon 50% ground beef and topped with more bacon. Life doesn't get any better than bacon. There were plenty of other food vendors but nothing tops bacon, sorry other vendors. Ok, so there were other vendors other then our lovely bacon providers. There were vendors that solely had sweets (cupcakes, pies, cakes, etc.) there was Mexican food, Italian food, and fish. I'm certain there was more food but I only cared about one food vendor and that is what I mostly ate while there. In addition to all the bacon that was provided there were plenty of wine tasting opportunities. One of my favorite wine tasting tables was by PRP Wines located in San Diego. I have personally been buying from PRP Wines for several years and I'm a little partial to them. They import wines from all over the world, they do not carry anything domestic which gave them an advantage compared to the other wine vendors who locally grow their grapes. There is something special inside a bottle of a South African Cab. One of the things I was most impressed by was the fact that PRP Wines brought not only their $20 bottles of wine but their $80 bottles too and they did not hold back on their pours of their most expensive labels. This is not a quality most wineries have. Food (bacon), wine, and now beer. There was a plethora of beer vendors that gave out free shirts, hats, etc. I'm not much of a beer drinker so I have nothing to say other than there was beer and those vendors were friendly. Music, a Bluegrass Festival is not complete without music. There was a band that played great tunes to wash all our food and drinks down with. I have no complaints. I look forward to going again next year!

The land here is somewhat small despite some of the other tribes in other parts of the County. Yet, it's still beautiful reservation! Sycuan has sovereignty, like other nations.

This is such a neat place with the oak tread, a natural garden outside etc. beautiful!!!! Found this on the internet: Source: Sycuan December 23, 2016 (Sycuan Indian Reservation) -- Initiated with traditional Kumeyaay Bird Singers and Dancers, native blessings and a traditional sage smudging purification, the Sycuan Tribe unveiled the Sycuan Cultural Resource Center and Museum to a large crowd and rave reviews earlier this month. The new facility centralizes and secures an enormous amount of ancient Kumeyaay artifacts, museum quality collections, and a vast array of scholarly research featuring the famous "Shipek Collection" of Kumeyaay archives. "The Sycuan Tribe is extremely proud to open to the public our new Cultural Resource Center and Museum," stated Tribal Chairman Cody Martinez. "The history and spirit of the village of Matamo courses through and infuses the facility, exhibits and programs that will be offered here. We encourage all Native Americans -- and all San Diegans -- to visit and learn about Kumeyaay history and culture through viewing of these ancient artifacts, accessing a comprehensive collection of scholarly research, and enjoying programs and services that will foster a deeper understanding and appreciation of the rich Kumeyaay culture."

I couldn't take my eyes off her vest, hundreds of little pockets, each stuffed with tiny treasures. We set off around 2pm, and our adventure lasted about two and a half hours. Everywhere I looked, there were fungi in different shapes and colors that I had never imagined. Cypress seemed to know every inch of the reserve, whatever question that we had, she had an answer. And just when you thought she couldn't possibly have something to show, she'd reach into one of her pocket and pull out a little surprise related to whatever fascinated you most. It was mesmerizing. By the end of the day, Cypress wasn't just a marine biologist, she was a guide to a whole hidden universe. She is definitely my favorite marine biologist now.
