Finishing the List the Second Time - Yucaipa Ridge
On September 19, twenty-two of us met at the abandoned Mill Creek campground at 6 in the morning. We set up a car shuttle and climbed to gain the ridge. All the peaks were ascended in the usual order: Little San G., the Wilshires, Cedar, and Birch.
Then we made the long trip down to Allen Peak. The hike was led by Franks: Goodykoontz and Dobos. David Eisenberg planned the trip, but was unable to attend due to injuries. Frank G. led us up and along the ridge while Frank D. led us up Allen where Jack Haddad finished the list. Then Frank D. led us out to Mill Creek by our new preferred route. It was a long but rewarding day, in at sunrise, and out just before dark. We had treats on the peak and treats at the cars with Jack.
