Hike or Ride to Jamul Kilm, Jumul, California
The Jamul Cement works (also called the Jamul Kiln) was an Entrepreneurial Venture from back in the 1800s. From San Diego Historical Society:"A little more than twenty miles southeast of San Diego, within the boundaries of the Mexican land grant Rancho Jamul, a curious and substantial masonry structure stands isolated at the foot of a low hill. The structure houses two octagonal kilns, a brick smokestack rising more than thirty feet above them. Limestone and clay from a deposit on the hill behind were once burned in these kilns by the Jamul Portland Cement Manufacturing Company, an enterprise created during the boom of the 1880s."
By 1906 most of the plant was dismantled.
It’s been kept a secret so that it could be preserved over the years from a lot of traffic and graffiti. So all we will say is the hike starts at Pio Pico RV Resort.
