Pinyon Mountain Trail 4/30

[Craigger]

Anyone interested in hitting Pinyon Mountain Trail in Anza Borrego on Sunday, 4/30? I’ll be looking at getting an early start. My teens will probably join if I can get them out of bed.

That sounds like a good time I should be able to get down there (as long as it isn't too early).

What time are you thinking?

 

[Craigger]

I'm somewhat flexible but I was thinking trailhead at 9 or earlier.

Sounds like fun. I’d just have to figure out if I’d drive down Saturday night and camp or wake up super early on Sunday. It’s about a 3.5 hr drive for me.

I can meet at 10 if that makes it easier. Probably don't want to go later than that though.

If I leave my house at 6A I think I can get there around 9ish with a stop for gas.

OK cool. Let's say ready to roll at 9:30. I have some feelers out to see if others want to join.

@GMONEY - are you in?

Yeah I'm in.

What's the easiest way to find the trail head? Have a pin?

From google maps this looks like the gathering spot I remember (haven't done this trail in many years).

Is there any spot closer to the trailhead to fill up on gas besides Temecula?

Closest is going to be Julian or Santa Ysabel. Pricey so use them to top off, not fill up.

Ha ok thanks that's what i was afraid of, thanks!

I think you'd be OK if you fill up in Temecula. That's my plan now fill up kn the way out of town. Should have at least 3/4 tank when I get there. At the worst I'll have to put a couple gallons in before heading back to Temec but even then I think I'll be OK.
