Tribute to the "American eagle" alongside Newport Road

Many residents have seen the rock formation someone painted to look like a patriotic eagle south of Newport Road and west of Murrieta Road. Sylvie Hess' son Joshua wanted to see it up close, and he posed for a portrait.

Sylvie is now eligible for the Photo of the Month award in our "Menifee in Pictures" contest.
