This was my second time up to El Sereno, and I took the
same route as the first time I went up. From the small lot at the top of Montevina road, follow the fire road up, turning left at the intersection.
Unlike the cloudy day last year, there were some decent views of the southern Santa Cruz Mountains that I enjoyed on my way up and down. At the summit I set up on the side of the road, careful to stay out of the path in case any bikers rode by.

I started my activation on 60 meters, getting three contacts. I then tried 17 meters and got another two. Finally, I went back down to 30, where I worked the pileup. I tried VHF, but only got one answer on 2 meters. I could have spent more time at the summit, but I had some other errands I needed to run back in the valley, so I packed up and headed down.
