I hate that they do Ramona, and not Gillespie....Ramona is far out there, to me it'd make more sense to do it at Gillespie and garner more interest.

Both Carlsbad and Ramona are 40 miles away from San Diego, while Gillespie is 15.

I also live in the flight path of Gillespie...so that's another reason.... <laughing>

Agree Gillespie is a whole lot closer, but I like Ramona because it is rural and provides good background for photos.  Took some shots at Palomar and there were large office buildings in the background.
