And some folks would rather spend time chatting with a very good friend Wizard : ) Hope to see you soon!!

Dev, a friend and I hiked in on Super Bowl Sunday via Bradford Ridge and the trail was easy enough to find in my opinion. We took the longer route in and out, meaning to the left of the barb wire fence. And I placed a marker when we got to the PCT to find it better on the way out.
On our way to the trail head we got lost on the streets... go figure no trouble on the trails but streets are a whole nother thing for me... But we found it alright after talking to a local guy who used to go all the time.
Driving I took the 210 ~ 18 ~ 189 ~ Grass Valley Rd ~ 173 and got lost from 189 to 173, should have looked for Grass Valley Rd instead of 173 signs. In hindsight I would print out a map of the streets to find it more easily and have a reference in case I get lost. Although it was very beautiful driving through the area.
If you like send me a PM and we can find a way to carpool and hike in together. I prefer visiting the springs during the week.
