Back to the hilltop - Camp P Lookout
After the little night time exploration I had to go back and this time in day-light hours!
Also to make note of the GPS coordinates.
Last time in the middle of the night, I only made it up to this plant:
This time in the day light and actually got the ADV80 to the VERY TOP!:
Same plant in the foreground.
GPS coordinates for location in Santa Margarita Mountains:
N 33°27.408
W 117°23.837
It's not a major climb, but it look like it in the dark on the previous trip!
So what can you see from up here? Last time, in the middle of the night, nothing really, but this time, we could see far in all directions!
This direction is looking South and out into/onto Camp Pendleton. We could actually see Military guys in training across the valley.
Just below us is a Forestry Station and basically we are between Oceanside and San Clemente maybe 20-miles from the coast in between the 5-FWY and the 15-FWY.
Also, we listened to some heavy artillery!!! Tank's where firing long range - LONG RANGE!!!
SPECTACULAR VIEW!!!
Just a bit of overcast along the coast.
Looking back up towards Orange County:
We could actually see SaddleBack Mountains - with all the radio towers on top.
Nice little road up to the top for the awesome view. While my offroad adventures are short quick trips, I want to get the rig fully sorted and will take on more adventerious trips.
