    Tar Creek Falls are dried up till winter. dont go there. wasted my time this past weekend driving from san diego to fillmore, stayed the night at Lake Piru just to drive 5 to 10 miles into the mountains just to find out the cliffs were dry. they looked really sick tho and cant wait for winter to come.
