Thanks to everyone for the information! After hearing about the car break-ins and seeing the posted Warning signs on Ramon Rd we opted to start near the museum. There was plenty of street parking near the museum and staying on the trail was fairly easy... just follow the headlights above. The weather conditions were ideal -shorts & T-shirt mostly- and bit chilly in the shade. All around great day. C2C is an awesome, challenging hike! The bonus afterward was munching some pizza at Nina's Pita & Pizza, tasty pies!
Thanks again gang!
