Hiked up Monument Peak in the Laguna Mountains with my wife and my dog on November 13, 2010. We had a great view of the pretty much all of ABDSP. It was the end of the Santa Ana and we also had views north to San Gorgonio, east to Arizona, and all the way to Catalina Island and beyond. While we were up there my wife and I were joking about probably being watched as we walked around the summit area which is covered with lots of towers and dishes. Sure enough I found this today...and we were being watched. The actual summit register is in the rocks near the large bush on the right in this video. Look close about half way through this time lapse video and you can see me taking some pics of Whale Peak and the tower. http://hpwren.ucsd.edu/anim-g/hpwren-iqeye4/dates/20101113-Q4.mp4
The Web cam is in this tower but we didn't see it while we were up there.
And this is one of the pics I took looking at Whale Peak (where I had camped the weekend before).

That is crazy, how did you find that video??
Great pics..I am packing up the truck now getting ready to head out tomorrow. In your pic of WP you can see Bisnaga Alta Wash and how the potential climb up the alluvial fan would go. That is also a great view of Vallecito.

Daren,
I found the video by searching through here.

I saw on the news a few weeks back that they put up a bunch of new web cams as fire lookouts. And then I found this.
I could see your planned route up Whale Peak. It looks like a long way.
Have a great trip and where did you decide to go?
