Hi D,
Yes, you should be able to hit Moraga at the Ship of the Desert, (famous, long house w porthole), where you veer left. You may hit a fence at the last house, (unless their attempting development further up), where the trail drops down left into a wash for a bit, before climbing out, onto the old dirt road by the old brick water tank. The road ends after 1/4 mile and the single-track climbs up on the right (west), then to the only jct, where you head right / west to climb up to the S. Lykken. If you head straight at the jct. you'll head down into the small community at south end of The Mesa area, where you began.
This is also the area where The Desert Riders park is located, (I believe it's city owned), where you get nice city views, but even better for watching the full moon come up. Trivia; it's right above Barry Manilow's home, and the beginning of the trail is a couple blks south of Sonny Bono's former home.
