Pretty cool Google Earth video showing planned improvements for Kilpacker to El Diente for next year.

Very cool and definitely needed, having just been up there. This route is going to become VERY popular now that the technically easier route up Mount Wilson from Kilpacker is widely known. My only concern is the re-route around the meadow will make access to water harder when camping.

Throwing the bone for the dog I see two passing lights
Well, I wonder where that driver's bound
Is there someone, somewhere, someway out there that I've not found"
