After coming down from Frazier, I drove east on Cuddy Valley Road to Forest Road 9N21, Scott Russell Road. Another dirt road with minor ruts and rocks. I drove up to a clearing on the ridge adjacent to Tecuya Mountain (HPS #110). I hiked the road to a saddle between the ridges, startling a couple of deer. At this point, the road turned into a difficult and steep OHV road. There was a turnout there and it should be safe driving that far. I don't think I could have driven the last part of the road. Tecuya was at the end of the ridge. The high point seemed to be in the middle of an open area. It had the best views of the day with a clear 270 degree arc. I returned the same way. Two peaks down for the day. On deck, Cerro Noroestre.
