My wife and I recently took another overnight trip to the small, former mining town of Julian, CA to
celebrate my birthday. It was raining and windy much of the time but I managed to get in a couple brief
flights of my Mavic drone.

Our first stop was near the ruins at Buckman Springs. Mineral water from the springs was bottled here
many years ago:

These next three shots are screen captures from 4k video. (I haven't had time to edit the video yet). These
are aerial views of Julian. The Mavic handled the wind and light rain remarkably well:










We stayed in the "patio cottage" at the historic Julian Hotel:




Relaxing on the cottage's porch:





We had an early dinner at Romano's, an Italian/Sicilian restaurant:












Late that evening there was a lull in the storm... no rain, no wind. I took the opportunity to fly my drone
up and down the deserted main street of the town:







Sometime after midnight the main storm moved in, bringing powerful winds and heavy rain. We could hear
small branches cracking and things bouncing off the roof of the cottage. The wind and rain was still going
when we got up in the morning. Here's the view from the cottage porch, and from the hotel's front porch:

We had lunch at the Julian Grille before heading home. Here's the view from our table in the sunroom at
the restaurant:
