I used Fred Lobdell's trip report to reach Pine Island and the strip park along the ridge.
Parking is still non-existent.
I parked on the grass near the no parking signs, turned on my 4-way flashers, and nobody bothered me. BUT, looking at the topo, it seems apparent that the 29' spot elevation is well west of the entrance to the park on Forest Ridge Blvd. It is certainly not at the three pines point on the ridge. At 3.7 miles turn right into a development, The Ridge On Nob Hill, onto Ridge Trace, and make an immediate left on Abianca Circle. Park in the pool lot just a few feet up the right side of Abianca.
