Location
Right near the trailhead of Sycamore Canyon Trail in Whittier, just about bordering the expansive Rose Hills Memorial Park (cemetery) to the north.
Participants
Plans
The point is located in the parking area serving the start point of a hiking trail, how convenient! I don't think I'll have time to explore the trail itself today, however.
Expedition
I drove to the destination but found the gates about 100 meters away from the point closed and locked for the day, presumably at 6:00 p.m. as the signage said. I didn't expect there to be a gate since the aerial map of the place seemed to imply that the trail parking area also allowed access for adjacent homes.
Anyways I parked streetside nearby and walked to the gate as close to the point as I could reach and snapped a few photos. During the short walk from car to gate, I found 3 quarters on the dirt "sidewalk" and then another quarter (with a small chunk sheared off) that I missed the first time, when I came back to the spot after realizing I could take a picture to accompany my little story on here.

Proof of closest approach
Hashpoint is at center, a meter or so past the parking lot edge
Looking west from the locked gate
Does this count as for no-trespassing ribbon?
