Gotcha Santi!

#11/12: Santiago Peak (Saddleback Mtn)✅. This is also the location of K-Wave 107.9 FM, our Calvary Chapel Costa Mesa church Christian radio station. For years I’ve been wanted to go to the top of this mountain! Being able to see it almost every day when  I drive on the 405 S freeway on the way to Church, Bible College, work, etc. I really wanted to experience being up there and see the spectacular view around OC and the Pacific Ocean. 

Because of the closure of the Holy Jim trail due to previous fire, I never thought I was going to complete this peak and just be settled with 11 peaks. Thanks for the info’s from SoCal Hikers in such perfect timing about the Maple Spring Trail! I was able to make it and became my second peak within a week! And I was able to raise the Philippine flag too! I even (unconsciously) made a preview selfie with a Poison Oak foliage safely!????????
