▮ Field notes

2nd CW SOTA complete! Did much better than last time but still needed plenty of repeats. Got a total of 6 contacts which was nice and I give credit to my new 16ft vertical whip.

▮ The route

Menifee Hills is a spiderweb of trails. You can choose whatever route to want to get to the summit! Zero shade and so many different paths to take to get to the summit. Has short, intense, vertical climbs followed by longer and easier straights. Summit has lots of room to spread out and setup your gear. Not a very busy trail and only saw a few people.
