We parked at the culdesac on Del Dios where there was an access point to the Rancho San Clemente ridge line trail. The trail was a wide dirt road with a few other people on it. An easy breezy walk got us on top of 906. We found a gated and locked cement area but could not determine its purpose. The views were open but obscured somewhat by a lingering May gray marine layer. We did have a good view of Interstate 5. 486' of prominence is pretty impressive for a suburban coastal hill. It was great to catch up with Adam and his worldwide exploits. He had recently returned from a tour of South America and his next trip to Indonesia was coming up.
