San Miguelito Rancho c. 1200 ft. Near Jolon
Mr. Dutton of Dutton's Hotel at Jolon says that in the old days he once drove from San Diego to Jolon, the journey taking 23 days. It took a long time in those years to get from northern California to Southern California.
- The ranch to the south of this one is called Piojo Rancho and belongs also to the Newhalls.
- We can see Pico Blanco from the ranch house at San Miguelito, but not Santa Lucia Peak which is hidden behind a range of hills
