Observations/Information: Mark is down on Vaca and wanted to ride Bluff Point. Actually started out in Haley Farm and road over to bluff x-ing the train tracks. kinda just tooled around the fire roads at first and got to Bluff's parking lot. then headed off into the trails from there taking the snap left just at the 2 toilets and heading off and up to the little play ground next to the train tracks, crossed the fire road and blasted up onto the ridge and rode out on the main run to the bluff. Hung there for a bit then cruised one of the Mumford cove side trails and out back to Haley Farm where were did a quick loop around the field and up to the split rock.

Haley Farm - Split Rock

Trails were all in good shape and dry except for the very bottom road on the edge of Mumford where it's always muddy.
