The Aldama Kumiai rancho is located in what appears to be a very old Kumeyaay Native American Indian site.

Pictured here are tall oak trees next to the main house.
These oak trees are hundreds of years old.

The California Indians, the Kumeyaay aboriginal food source was based on acorns.
Acorns grow on oak trees.

The Kumeyaay rarely cut their oak trees because acorns were their staple food source for thousands of years in Southern California and northern Mexico.

The remote Aldama ranch has many large oak trees like these photographed.
