A separate was at the same sign earlier in the day. We arrived at about 4:30 local time, and actually encountered the farmer driving away from the location. We asked him innocently if we were on his property and he told us that we were. He asked if we were sightseeing and we decided that was a good alibi and agreed. He said that we could continue down to the "tower with the tank on the top" to turn around, where no trespassing sign was (the tower with tank is off to the right of the sign in the picture).

Disappointed that we could not ethically reach the true destination, we instead braved some unpaved levee roads and visited the KXTV television tower north of the meet-up point which happens to be the tallest structure in California and one of the tallest structures ever to exist.
