Update Hiking trip

Allright!! So i did some research today about the trip to the Griffith Observatory and Hollywood sign. Its really nice!

This is what we do;

We meet up at 3pm outside South Clubhouse to figure out who needs a ride and such.

Then well meet up at the bottom of Trail 11 which is on Boy Scout road. This is how i got there today;

Left on Barham blvd, cross the bridge over 101
Left on Cahuenga Blvd which becomes Highland Ave later on.
Left on the upcoming bridge over 101 where Cahuenga Blvd continues
Left on Franklin Ave
Left on Western Ave which becomes Los Feliz Blvd
Left on North Vermont Ave
Follow the signs for the Greek Theater, and just before the Theater you will have Boy Scout road on your left. On the right side there is a restaurant.

When everyone has arrived at the bottom of trail 11, we'll walk up. Should take us about 15minutes.

At the Griffith Observatory you can walk around and see whatever you want. Or just have a snack at the cafeteria and sit outside and enjoy the view.

At 4.30 everyone who wants to go for the hiking to the Hollywood sign must meet up by the huge cone statue just in front of the entrance, you'll see what i mean when you get there. And we'll start the walk!

I talked to the Park Rangers and they estimated about an Hour to get there. Its not allowed to get so close to it that you can touch it, but close enough for a very very (did i say very?) good picture :)

For those who don't want to go for the hike, you can go home whenever you want. Im going for the hike!

If we are not too tired, we might see the Sunset!

Ohhh, did i ever mention that this is a totally free event?? Well it is, all you need is food and water which you always need anyway :)

I hope to see you all!
