KTMrad 507 Posted November 8, 2019 Schwinn's wife thought it was on Mt Laguna, but I don't remember any spots where there is a big rock with a fence like this ? Maybe at the overlook just north of the Laguna store ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

KTMrad 507 Posted November 8, 2019 I'm not convinced it's Stonewall Peak. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Van 35 Posted November 8, 2019 Looks to be on the north end of Idyllwild (looking north from that area). Maybe off the 243? You can see Banning just over his head, San Gorgornio to the right, Baldy in the distance. Cabazon is in the right side of picture with Hyw 10. Maybe Black Mountain Truck Trail?

KTMrad 507 Posted November 8, 2019 We need to do a ride up there, then find out if we can put a plaque up there. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dirt dame 554 Posted November 9, 2019 It is indeed the Black Mountain lookout in the San Jacinto mountains, off of the 243. We had quite a fine ride up there with all the active members of that time period one day. Good times. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

KTMrad 507 Posted November 9, 2019 OK, I talked to Mrs. Schwinn, she agrees it would be a great place for a memorial plaque, now just gotta talk to forest service. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
