Anyone who has done much hiking in San Diego County and especially in Anza-Borrego will have heard of Jerry Schad, the author of Afoot and Afield in San Diego County. I obtained a copy of this book almost two decades ago and fell in love with the San Diego area as a result. Outside the Sierra, it is my favorite place in the state to explore. Jerry died last week after a long struggle with cancer. Thank you Jerry, and rest in peace.
