At the Wittenberg summit (1400 ft), looking East South-East.

In the distance we could see the upper portion of the transmission towers atop Twin Peaks in SF.

The back-packers are leaving after they had their lunch, just as we arrived to take their spots for our lunch.  The view is from an opening in the Mt. Wittenberg summit, overlooking South to West to North (scroll from left to right). You can see the ocean and the Point Reye beaches.

Lunch!  We clustered around the tree for shade as the sun was pretty intense.

Ryan sets up a timer-shot.
