  permanently closed !,,,This home was just burnt down in the January 9 2018 mudslide, when debris from the nearby creek overflowed and snapped off the gas meter then shot flames up and ignited the roof overhang then spread to the whole place. I recently got an update that the Brave lady fire captain was able to help rescue the homeowners who apparently had to jump out of the Second Story and got hurt in the fall in our prayers go out that we hope they are recovering in the hospital Yes it was built on the very location whare Jim and Susie Lavenson the former owners of San Ysidro Ranch had built theire guest horse riding stables managed by Miss Vicki Gannon along with her famous German police dog Kel Kel that used to hike the trails along with the horses and wrangler miss Kelly Auger. Vickys horse "Flying Star Bob" was in the paddock right in front of the stable barn for the visiting tourist to pet and for photos, Vicki and her girls took lots of guest of the San Ysidro Ranch on beautyfull trail rides up the San ysidro trails on the mountains behind the ranch, it was where celebrity's could come up from hollywood, get on a horse and have a fantastic brethtaking trail ride back into nature, they even had a mule, named "Eyeore" that was one of the best ones to ride on because he was sure footed and knew all the trails! Vicki and the girls kept those horses in top condition in the heat and cold! Eventually the horse stables were closed down, the 16 or so horses relocated and the barn removed and this beautyfull home was constructed on the very land, wich was 40 feet from the russelling creek, all was going good until the January 8 and early morning 3am heavy rains hit, Jan 9th flash flood hit, without warning the 15ft deep creek rose to the the top of its banks, tearing out the 40 ton 20ft wide concrete bridge across the creek and bringing mud from a mile above, along with it came huge 200 ton bolders, big rocks, gravel and heavy mud that was like wet concrete, moving about running speed, the mass covered, crushed and tore out trees, cars, and homes in all the low lying path downhill towards the beach 3 miles away, a lot of people were asleep in bed and theire home colapsed onto them and swept them down the creek!, We are all saddened by this life changing event, but will never forget Jim, Sussie, Vicki, Kelly and the horses that brought so much pleasure to so many. Our prayers go out the family members of those who didn't make it through the flood.
