I decided to ride my bike up our new trail to see where it goes. Here is
a record of my trip...

I rode from Albertson's (on the right), following the red line, up the switchbacks we worked on yesterday (in the middle). Reino Road is at the bottom; the view is from the east, looking west. Dos Viento would be in the background.
|
|
 |
This is the end of the trail we worked on.
|
|
 |
I decided to leave my bike here and walk up the impending trail
|
|
 |
A few yards further on, you crest a hill and can see Old Boney and the trails at the top of Sycamore Canyon.
|
|
 |
Very soon, after just a few yards more, the trail becomes somewhat indistinct.
|
|
|
 |
At this point, my bike is about 100 yards behind me.
|
|
|
 |
Pretty soon the trail starts to open up again.
|
|
 |
But then it starts to fork so the true path is hard to follow.
|
|
 |
Back at the end of the new trail where I left my bike, looking towards Conejo Peak, you can see the houses of Dos Vientos.
|
|
 |
On the way back down, looking over Reino Rd (in the middle), you can see the trails on the other side that this trail will connect to.
|
|
 |
From the east side of Reino Rd, looking back at the switchbacks we were working on yesterday, you can see the storm catch basin in the foreground, and a tiny bit of the duck pond as well.
|
|
 |
On the east side of Reino Rd, the trail is rutted and hard to climb, and soon comes to a section next to the fence that is impossible to climb. The fork on the other side was just as bad.

According to a recent Acorn, the developer originally wanted to build 200 homes on this site, but reduced it to 24 on Sept 13th.
