A year and a half after a brush fire tore through the eastern part of the Torrey Pines State Natural Reserve Extension, the nature trail through it has been reopened. We'll check it out soon. It was already getting dark today so we just walked along the trail on the bluffs above it, finding some still fire-scarred land on the ridge bursting with bush poppies. The area of the blaze below was a plush carpet of new green.
