Local historical activists, many relying on canes and walking sticks for support, hiked 7,000 years into the past two weeks ago to explore the rugged, boulder-strewn birthplace of Temecula. In doing so, about 35 participants came away with an increased awareness of a scarcely visited area that has gained new prominence recently due to a proposed city annexation and a pending freeway improvement project. “That’s Temecula’s hidden secret,” said Roger Sannipoli, an Old Town prope...
