My son lives in La Mesa, real close to Orange Grove. He showed me a cross on top of a hill. I wonder if it's the same one. I have a picture. I took it from his patio. I took another one at dark. I could still see it, faintly.
That's probably Mount Helix you're thinking of.
Different cross different area.
Mt. Helix has a cross on top in the La Mesa area, east of the City of San Diego
Mt. Soledad with the Cross (the cross in dispute)
is in the La Jolla area of San Diego over looking the ocean.
The homes in that area go for mega millions.
The cross you are talking about is on Mount Helix, another is in downtown La Mesa and now belongs to The American Legion, it is also by the way the very first permanent VietNam memorial in the United States, which was transferred by the city
Different cross.
