Access
Follow Google directions to the Reagan Rancho del Cielo Property. This is a gated access property, and you will need to call in to the site managers using the call box next to the gate and explain your purpose. Upon access, drive west on the access road for close to a mile until you reach the old Ronald Reagan helipad and VOR site. (Note that you leave the "pavement" for a dirt road to the right when you see (other's) towers ahead of you. The tower site (34.530234, -120.092745) is in the middle of the circle drive to the southeast of the VOR site.
