Mike plans to go.

Plans

Leave South L.A. about 10:00 am.

5 North to Smokey Bear Exit. Northwest on Hungry Valley Road about 5 miles to Gold Hill Road. Follow paved Gold Hill Road west. Cross Dry Creek after 5 miles and begin to climb. Pavement ends in another two miles. Keep going. Intersect Alamo Mountain loop road about 12 miles in, possibly near Twin Pines Campground. Left on the loop. In another 3 miles bear left at at T. Go less than a mile to the trailhead (Mt Pinos Road (?)), which should be right about where the more developed road veers left to to Sewart Mountain. Maybe drive or maybe hike a couple of miles to the hash.

Here's a Google Map of the driving part. [Driving Directions]
