Azimuth Condition: Bad Your Directions: The best way to approach this AZ mark is to drive up Cypress Ave past the former Riverside School and it will lead into Delap Rd. You will pass through a gate (that is never locked) and continue driving up Moore Hill until you see the abandoned former KAGO readio station on the left. Park in the parking lot and then continue on foot walking up Moore Hill until you hit a biking trail. Follow the trail along the crest of the ridge and you will eventually reach the AZ location. It will be easy to spot from a wooden cross that stands next to the AZ mark. Parking Coords: N 42° 12.975 W 121° 47.958 Station Link: [Web Link]
