Get some great views of the area including San Gorgornio Mountain. The trail does continue north of the ridge, but drops into some private developments, exiting eventually to the highway.
The view of Palm Springs / Indio is fantastic!
I was thinking about taking that route out from the campground Sunday morning on the way to the trail head. If things aren't wrapped up by then I'm sure we can work around it.xtatik wrote:Well, that road you mention is going to be blocked to the best of our ability at the cabin end. Our stations will be sitting just barely off the intersection of that road close to the cabin. We will have coax and power cords running across it as a necessity.
Steve and I went up last Sunday to do a site survey of the place. With considerations for antennas (available trees) and their alignments, generators and power cord runs, etc. The site is....ahem,...."less than perfect" for a Field Day in these and other regards. But, we think we have a decent plan for station set ups. Unfortunately, we are relying on little or preferably no traffic coming through on that road. Just a heads up!
