49.10: California: Eagle Peak, Mount Diablo plus 49.20 Diablo Peak itself.

After twenty minutes, we reach this point with a view of the mountain being strip-mined and enjoy the grass, once again.
A different view of the mountain from below Eagle Peak.
Found a longer but more exciting way up...for a short-while.
Jenni finds her own way around.
Another opportunity to get off the trail.
Understandably breathless after a very steep climb.
Closing in at the top.
Finally, reach the peak after some fun diversions.
Peak Mount Diablo.
View from the top.
Jen reaches the non-operable beacon. Was shut-down after Pearl Harbor attack in case it provided a beacon for the Japanese fighter-jets. Now lit up once a year. Guess the date in early December?

The leader approached us indicating he wanted to 'make something of our presence'. At least the cows have been welcoming. 

 Cheers, 

 Jenni and Jeffrey
