survey of Lake Wohlford March 10, 2015 0528a.DBF waypoints 0528b.DBF first track 0528c.DBF second track 0528d.txt copy of Reader Roma-O-Rama column from home to Caballo Trail staging area 48 minutes 35 miles lat/lon here N 33 9.569 W 117 1.983 752 ft also waypoint 1 tracking at 0.02-mile intervals up to Lake Wohlford =2 begin Lake Wohlford Rd [on Valley Center Rd] =3 Oakvale Rd R =4 entrance to Lake Wohlford I park and then stop tracking and save the track [0528b.DBF] =5 entering the Kumeyaay Trail near the rangers' trailer =10 yellow bridge =11 L an open gate, and signed access to Lake Wohlford, it is approximately opposite the Lake Wohlford Cafe =12 trail crosses a flat rock, but no morteros =14! I am apparently off the trail, so I turn around and go back, end of this part =15 back at gate, I turn L =17 vague trails L and R, I continue SA toward the lake =18 T intersection with rather obvious trail along the lakeshore, I turn L =20 trail goes through some large rocks, this may be the mortero area =21 trail gets a little vague, and I turn L =22 I come to a T, which was apparently intended to be the trail I turn L =23 I turn R on a small trail that may go to the lookout point =27! I come to a place that I have seen before, so I turn around, end of this part =28 I am near the place where I came into this trail, so I resume calling lat/lon [jump from waypoint 12 to waypoint 28 for trail map] =30 a bench next to the trail, I keep L =33 red trail markers painted on the rocks =35 I come to the place where the trail goes steeply down a boulder, so I turn L into a side trail to find the trail up to the lookout =36 I reach the highway [Lake Wohlford Rd], I cross over to the other side on the other side is a large unpaved turnout =37 other side of the road, I photograph the place where I emerged and the turnout in both directions I turn R and head for some crude wooden steps near the E end of the turnout =38 I enter the trail and ascend the steps =45 vague trail L, but more steps R, so I keep R =50 I enter a sort of masonry enclosure, I think this the lookout =51 I turn R and go up some concreted steps, cross over a small bridge =52 I'm in the middle of a large level area with a stone wall around it, I'm going to stop here for a while and enjoy the view I turn L and follow what appears to be the road leading to this area =54 I turn L off the road and follow a steep but well-beaten path to a higher summit with a large tree on it =55 at the summit, next to the tree, and there appears to be a well-beaten path to the R, so I go R I go down the other side and at =58 I come to a dirt road, probably the same one noted previously I turn L and approach a gate on a paved road =59! I'm at the gate, and it emerges on a narrow paved road that apparently serves a mobile home park end of this part, I turn around and go back =60 place where I entered the road, I turn L and go up to another summit, just to see what's there =61 the sort of road turns R here under some power lines =64! path continues, but I turn around and go back, end of this part, before I turn around, I take two nearly identical pics of the trail ahead =65 back on dirt road, I turn L =70! back at place where I turned off the road [near the lookout], I look around for an alternate route back down I can't find an alternate route, so I go back the way I came =71 back on main trail, I go down the rock on the L [which looks easier] =74 bench on rocks R overlooking lake, and only a very vague side trail leading to it =86 trailside bench =93 trail emerges on dirt road, I turn L so I can show its position properly =94 I go around a locked pipe gate signed as a Lake Wohlford entrance, it leads into an unpave parking area, I turn L and go out to the road =95! I come to Lake Wohlford Rd after going through an open but lockable pipe gate this is apparently another official access point end of this part, I go back the way I came =96 back at the place where I entered the road, I continue SA =98 porta-potty to L, side trail to R, I coninue roughly SA trying to find the trail Roam-O-Rama is right, this is a narrow, faint pathway, but I have no trouble following it =101 another red arrow, and a metal grate bridge =103 I come to the morteros the highway is fairly close on a hill to my L, so it's hard to get lost however, these red arrows certainly help =108 trailside bench R =111 the collapsed culvert, I continue SA =115 wooden bridge with stone steps =116 I turn R on what appears to be an old road =122! I come to locked pipe gate with a no-trespassing sign on it, end of this part, I turn around =123 R into a social trail that appears to go up to the highway it has posted rules near the service road, so it may not be a social trail [some signs of trail work, such as water bars] =126! trail emerges on highway, and there are signs on it there is also a turnout large enough to park two vehicles [on this side of the highway] I turn L and walk back along the edge of the road, mileage here 14.10 [note: mileage was not reset at beginning of trail!] I stop recording waypoints, so end of this part 14.24 miles, mile post 3.5 14.59 the entrance that I noted previously 14.73 mile post 3.0 14.81 trail to that summit is to my R 14.84 trail access to my L 15.15 main entrance to Lake Wohlford, end of this part [I stop and eat my lunch in the nearby picnic area] =127 I enter the Osprey Trail [at the E end of the parking lot next to the picnic area] =128 side trail or road R =138 side trail L =140 trail forks, I keep R the trail loops and comes back to the loop at =144!, end of this part, I go back the way I came =145 R into side trail =146! trail peters out, but there is access to the lakeshore from here, end of this part, I turn around back on main trail, I turn R and go back =147 L into side trail [previously noted near beginning of Osprey Trail] =153! trail ends on a hilltop next to some power lines, it is apparently used for power line access, end of this part, I go back to the parking area 12:35 back at the car, I drive over to the Egret Trail staging area =154 entering Egret Trail =157 small bridge =161 smaller bridge =166 bench L =181 rocky part of trail =188 trailside bench =190! porta-potty and apparent end of trail a road to the right goes up to the service road end of this part [I look around for a continuation, it appears that other trails continue along the lakeshore, but they are hard to follow] the continuation is a bunch of faint social trails that I have trouble following =192* =193* =194* I stop taking waypoints and give up 18.53 I enter the Egret Trail next to the porta-potty 19.03 miles back at the parking area =195* entering another trail, unsigned, going down toward the lake I keep L and follow a trail running near the lakeshore I then see a trail to my L running along the hillside, I go up to that I continue in the same direction, and I plan to survey it on the return =196* =197* =198* =199* =200* =201 19.34 miles apparent end of trail in rocky area near the buoy line, I turn around and take waypoints this trail is vague in spots, but it shows clear signs of having been marked, graded and cleared =207 trailside bench =215 bridge =216! 19.53 trail emerges on the edge of the parking area it is signed as Oakvale Trail I missed it before because it is on the far W side of the parking area along some roads that go in loops without much space to park back at the truck, I start tracking at 0.02-mile intervals, and I call some waypoints =217 parking area =218 L on Oakvale Rd =219 end of public road, continuation is apparently walkable [and is probably the service road referred at waypoint 190 above], I turn around =220 entrance to parking area that I came out of =221 R on Lake Wohlford Rd =222 Lake Wohlford main entrance [on R] =223 Lake Wohlford Cafe [on L] =224 Lake Wohlford access R =225 Guejito Rd R =226 Woods Valley Rd [L], Paradise Mountain Rd [R] =227 Nyemii Pass Rd and Valley View Casino =228 Valley Center Rd, end of survey [saved track as 0528c.DBF] waypoints: 0001 N 33 9.568 W 117 1.983 748 ft
