Re: Calamity Ridge to Cucamonga Peak

Oh, ok I was wondering who the other person was who was clearing that - nice job and thank you! Justin right? I had met you twice last year when you were coming down from Greater Calamity both times on a Sunday. First time I was with my girlfriend, second time I was solo.

Wilson Toll Road/Eaton Canyon access point on Pinecrest Ave: If I come back after closing time (sunset), will I be locked in (trapped) Eaton Canyon? Or does the gate open from the inside even if...
