End somewhere where we can eat.

I'm thinking meet 10:00am, leave 11:00am. Lunch early afternoon at end point.
The last time we went there, the main parking lot was way too busy. How about the back lot, here?

Large, non-busy parking, with right-handed turns onto the cruise (vs. left-turns) is important if you want to keep the group together as much as possible.

This was my idea last time as well but by the time people started showing up it was too much trouble to move everyone. This is a much better place to meet and to be blunt, I want to park next to & associate with like-minded people; not Mom with the kids in their Mini-Van. Here’s a photo of what it looked like last time. The lot is directly behind T.J. Maxx, is more that large enough, and the run-out to Foothill Blvd. is easier to negotiate. Just my two cents.

So run from the back parking lot of the Von's we met at in June. We can head up Angeles Crest Highway to Mt. Wilson Redbox Rd.


No haters, it isn't me and it isn't my car, just a random YouTube video of the road. It looks surprisingly clean there, doesn't always happen, line changing boulders are the norm all through the forest and here is no exception.

The space on top is large and open.



However I can't guarantee we'll be the only folks up there.

If we would like to do the same run as last time plus the trip up to Mt. Wilson we can swing up that way first. If you want to drive out to Wrightwood and back, we could hit it on the way back.

The group you see in the pictures is the biggest group I've ever run up the mountain, it's a dead end at the top and the road splits into two one way streets going around the towers and as you see in the video the road is small and tight but on a clear day you can see the back of your own head from up there.



Anyway it looks like the general consensus is the Von's, out back at 10am and I will be there. Just looking to throw out my $.02 about Mt. Wilson.

I like the name of the road adjacent to Redbox road: Mt. Disappointment road. Wonder if it’s appropriately named.

I guess I’m just used to this: http://maps.google.com/maps?f=d&sour...52692&t=h&z=10

How about this?

Basically it's a straight Hwy 2 run, with a leg up Mt. Wilson?

A TJ Maxx (out back!)
