					<description><![CDATA[A local historian, Chris Wray, has produced a very interesting series of videos on the historic backcountry of San Diego County. Topics include US 80, wagon roads, and mining. He has also written a few books on the topics, which are linked on his YouTube channel. I highly recommend a visit. https://www.youtube.com/@SanDiegosHistoricBackcountry]]></description>
