Dude, stay away from that brush unless it's a really worth while hike. Do too much brush and you'll get to the point where you won't do it even on really cool hikes. Like me.
Am I correct that there is no way to hike from the end of Etiwanda Avenue to 1N34 without plowing through sticker bushes? That is how I am reading these trip reports.

from the two ridges I checked out - nope.
there is allegedly another way up via Foxbourough road, that may have more potential. I'll not be finding out anytime soon.

You didn't go over to San Sevaine Lookout?
Moi?
Maybe you could, but I didn't want to drive that far. Rather hike
Too lazy to add 2 more miles to what we did and bag Sam Sevaine Lookuot
Seriously, did those guys shooting over your bow drive up there or did they bushwhack their way up there? I was thinking of driving up to as close to Buck Point as possible then going up to Etiwanda (if that trail still exists). Any thoughts? I love to off road as much as possible! Would be good to combine off-roading and hiking!

oh yeah they drove up, from the east. didn't know there was a trail up to Etiwanda (up a ridge heading north?). that would be a good combo!
i'm assuming rattlesnake gulch is the same as rattlesnake canyon?
I doubt it, but could be it....they going to make you work really hard to get there
maybe they meant devil's gulch?
too hard to decipher for me...from the sound of it, I assume they are talking about a south traveling drainage west of Devils Gulch...I wonder how they even found it.

I called the SBNF this morning. 1N34 is closed due to the overall fire danger. There is no specific reopen date.
You beat me to it. I was gonna call to confirm it was open (the hunters were able to get through so I assumed it was open last weekend). So now I have one indication it is open and one it is closed. Neither source is reliable.
that gunshot and hikers were real, I will tell you that.
I don't know what road # that is, I thought it was 1N03 or something
besides, NF lie all the time about roads being open/closed. or they just are incompetent. at least that's the case with the ANF, I have no experience with SBNF
I trust Zé and RichardK. I don't know anything about how the hunters got up there (i.e. whether it was legally or illegally) and I see the Forest as patently unreliable (won't go so far as calling them liars. there is a chance their left hand doesn't know what their right hand is doing, blah, blah, etc., etc.).
