Plans

Drive to the pullover at the end of Avenida Eldorado, walk from there with boots to guard against mud.

Expedition

Close, but no cigar. A no-trespassing sign stopped me not far from the hash. But I was able to follow some nice cow trails there, it wasn't too muddy, I got some geotrashing done, and a hawk screamed at me, so it was a good walk.

The trash cache. This is all from the area I parked at.
The way north ended up being on top of a berm for some reason (edit: I think it is the remains of an abandoned railroad grade, it joins the current rail line at Kennedy). Here it is cut to allow an intermittent stream (currently 'dry' meaning not flowing, although still moist from a recent rain) through.
The first no-trespassing sign I encountered, whereupon I turned left (westward).
Despite walking along the fence for some ways, it did not let up before the point at which I would have to continue north. Here is the second no-trespassing sign near there. Pat Lyons is no longer the land commissioner (not surprising that signs out in the scrub don't get updated) and this area was free of trash, unlike the parking area earlier.
Where hobbits would hide from nazghul. In the far ground is an aerostat-style windmill, and the fence with the second no-trespassing sign on it.
A recreation of how I was shouted farther down the trail by a redtail. Picture quality suffered from the distance I was putting between myself and it, so my artistic impression will have to suffice.
