| Bonus peak after San Benito was San Carlos. Found an old vertical mine shaft that was _very_ deep. | ||

| surgent | Interesting peak | |
| Drove up from New Idria to below the top, hiked the last mile. New Idria is one of the creepiest places on the planet. | |

| derbilly | San Benito and San Carlos Date Climbed: Nov 14, 2004 | |
| After being stymied by a landowner in Parkfield we decided to make our way to San Benito. I was glad we had taken Mike's jeep since the road was muddy and steep in a few spots. San Carlos, an ok hike had no views due to the high brush at the top. | |

| cjrandall | Drive Up (Almost) Date Climbed: Feb 16, 2002 | |
| Came out with some friends from work, they were interested in the drive. My little 4x4 Suzuki Sidekick doesn't have a very large gas tank (8 gallons), so had to carry gas in a gas can and fill up on the drive up! This place is REMOTE! Could have driven all the way to the summit, but chose to hike the last mile, making for an easy 2-mile roundtrip stroll and about 800 feet elevation gain. View from the summit was great all around. Came back for a second trip in the summer of 2002 and hit the summit again, and picked up all the geocaches in CCMA while on that visit. Nice area to visit, would return. Lots of motorcycles, though, and the noise was a bit annoying. A couple dudes on bikes came riding right up to the summit while I was there. How obnoxios! | |

| Rad Thibidauoxx | Pretty Cool Road Up There Date Climbed: Apr 23, 2006 | |
| David, his dad, and I drove up to the summit. Driving on the muddy, treacherous road up there was cool. New Idria looked like the set of some sort of horror movie like "The Hills Have Eyes". I was a little afraid some inbred cannibals might jump out of one of the houses and attack us ;-). Signed the summit log when we got up there and looked around a little. | |

| McCannster | Good peak bag, no view Date Climbed: Apr 23, 2006 | |
| Pretty fun day of navigating the maze of dirt roads that is the Clear Creek Management Area. We got to the highpoint in the fog, with no view at all. We then drove further to Wright Mountain and biked our way towards the Joaquin Rocks, yet failed to get to them. I'll be back soon. | |

| Bob Burd | From New Idria Date Climbed: May 24, 2004 | |
| Sounds like I did a route almost the same as Matt, below. I was bummed that I failed so miserably on Laveaga Peak in the morning, but this was a nice consolation. Trip Report | |

| Matt Worster | Hike from New Idria Date Climbed: Feb 25, 2006 | |
| Man, missed out on my own first signing :-) We parked just above New Idria and made a 14-15 mile hike out of it. We went up on R010 on the ridge south of San Carlos Creek and down on T156 on the north ridge, checking out San Carlos Peak on the way back. Very interesting place, lots of exploring. | |

| keema | Day Trip Date Climbed: Mar 28, 2004 | |
| I'll be the first to sign the climbers log. This was CA county high point #9 for me. It was a fun day trip out exploring. I found the abandoned town of New Idria interesting with warning signs all over about not stopping and audio and video monitoring. I parked my car at a road junction and hiked the last mile - mile and a half to the summit. There is a rockpile to climb up on to get the highest point. Stopped and had a soda and learned some of the history of New Idria at the store mentioned before heading home. I'll post some picture if I can find them | |
