Planning information

  • Google Maps link (37.0374870832648,-121.281266476764)
  • Appears to be about a mile off Hwy 152, up an existing fire road, at the crest of a hill or ridge.
  • Tapin will try to be there; if it turns out it's marked as private, perhaps the Bell Station Cafe (sorry, best link I could find) -- about two miles west on 152 -- would work as an alternate location?
  • Ted will try to be there, with Vicki and games. Concur about Bell Station, but we'll likely hang out at the nearest fence-location until about 4:20, to catch stragglers.
  • Inaccessible from highway, posted no trespassing signs. Sadly, the Bell Station Cafe is closed and locked. Try again next week. --Tapin 23:33, 31 May 2008 (UTC)

Evolution

  • Ted and Vicki tried to get there, but the actual spot was beyond private/locked gates, at least from the 3 spots we tried off of 152. Also, the Bell Station Cafe is closed.
