We left early on Saturday morning and drove to the town of Los Olivos in the Santa Ynez Valley, our starting point. Loaded up with all our stuff, we headed off on our ride to our destination of Figueroa Mountain Campground where we planned to camp out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The route would take us along Happy Canyon Road before joining Figueroa Mountain Road and the climb up. Todays ride was a little over 27 miles with 4400 feet of climbing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/socalbrummie.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/img_3807-768x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-20\" srcset=\"https:\/\/socalbrummie.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/img_3807-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/socalbrummie.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/img_3807-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/socalbrummie.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/img_3807-1152x1536.jpg 1152w, https:\/\/socalbrummie.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/img_3807-1536x2048.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/socalbrummie.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/img_3807-scaled.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>We got to the campground and got the last available site to pitch our tents. We met Phil and Bridgette who asked if they could park their VW Camper on our site as the campground was full. They gave us water which was much needed as there campground has no running water and we were running low.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/socalbrummie.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/img_3780-768x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-18\" srcset=\"https:\/\/socalbrummie.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/img_3780-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/socalbrummie.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/img_3780-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/socalbrummie.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/img_3780-1152x1536.jpg 1152w, https:\/\/socalbrummie.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/img_3780-1536x2048.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/socalbrummie.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/img_3780-scaled.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>After a short rest, Mike suggested we take a short ride to Figueroa Mountain Lookout, only about 200ft of climbing. 3 miles and 1000ft of climbing later we made it. Mike was right, it was well worth the effort.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-video\"><video controls src=\"http:\/\/socalbrummie.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/gopr1296.mp4\"><\/video><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Back to the campground for some fine cuisine, freeze dried Beef Pasta Marinara. Not bad actually. To make it more palatable, Mike had hauled a couple of cans of Hoppy Poppy up the mountain. Cheers Mike.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/socalbrummie.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/img_3793-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-15\" srcset=\"https:\/\/socalbrummie.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/img_3793-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/socalbrummie.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/img_3793-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/socalbrummie.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/img_3793-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/socalbrummie.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/img_3793-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/socalbrummie.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/img_3793-2048x1536.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\t<div class=\"wp-block-jetpack-subscriptions__supports-newline wp-block-jetpack-subscriptions\">\n\t\t<div class=\"jetpack_subscription_widget\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"wp-block-jetpack-subscriptions__container\">\n\t\t\t\t<form\n\t\t\t\t\taction=\"#\"\n\t\t\t\t\tmethod=\"post\"\n\t\t\t\t\taccept-charset=\"utf-8\"\n\t\t\t\t\tdata-blog=\"220111880\"\n\t\t\t\t\tdata-post_access_level=\"everybody\"\n\t\t\t\t\tid=\"subscribe-blog-1\"\n\t\t\t\t>\n\t\t\t\t\t<p id=\"subscribe-email\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<label id=\"jetpack-subscribe-label\"\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\tclass=\"screen-reader-text\"\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\tfor=\"subscribe-field-1\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\tType your email\u2026\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/label>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<input type=\"email\" name=\"email\" required=\"required\"\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tclass=\"no-border-radius  required\"\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tstyle=\"font-size: 16px;padding: 15px 23px 15px 23px;border-radius: 0px;border-width: 1px;\"\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tvalue=\"\"\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\tid=\"subscribe-field-1\"\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\tplaceholder=\"Type your email\u2026\"\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\/>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<p id=\"subscribe-submit\"\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<input type=\"hidden\" name=\"action\" value=\"subscribe\"\/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<input type=\"hidden\" name=\"blog_id\" value=\"220111880\"\/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<input type=\"hidden\" name=\"source\" value=\"https:\/\/socalbrummie.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/44\"\/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<input type=\"hidden\" name=\"sub-type\" value=\"subscribe-block\"\/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<input type=\"hidden\" name=\"redirect_fragment\" value=\"subscribe-blog-1\"\/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<button type=\"submit\"\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tclass=\"wp-block-button__link no-border-radius\"\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tstyle=\"font-size: 16px;padding: 15px 23px 15px 23px;margin: 0px;
