Location
In the bush off of a trail near the Topanga Tower. Might be tough to reach through the brush.
Participants
Plans
Will hike up to the nearest point on the trail, either from Red Rock Canyon Park or the Topanga Tower, not yet decided. Then going to attempt to fight through the brush to the hash point. Hope to get there before noon.
Expedition
My dad and I left around 8 from home, driving to Red Rock Canyon Park. We walked from there up the trail, planning to make a nice morning hike out of the expedition. Eventually we reached the nearest on-trail point to the hash point, and I quested into the brush. It was too thick though to easily get through (as expected) and I hadn't brought proper fighting-through-aggressive-chapparal-clothing. I got to within maybe 100m of the point - the best estimate I had was "0.1 miles" from the Iphone app I was using - and quickly decided to turn back. We finished our hike, about 10 miles in total, which was nice. Shame to now have a 40% lifetime success rate with reaching the coordinates, but hey, we had a great time.
