Jacumba has an interesting geological history (which I know very little of) which includes lots of volcanic activity some 18 million years ago. I hiked out to Table Mtn which has some history with the Kumeyaay Indians who called it the "island in the sky". They considered the mountain sacred. I also made sure to scramble up Squaw Tit, a small volcanic outburst at the top of Table mountain that looks like..well, like a tit.

| Table Mtn is a volcano and these markers surround the area |
 |
| The extreme red rock everywhere is part of the quarry area found on the east side |

| The old Mica gem site is near the road to the east of the mtn area |
