I signed up to ride Greg and Stacy Kline's 300k on Feb 11th which uses the entire length of the Santa Ana River Trail. Last time I was on the upper half (about a year ago) the homeless problem had become quite severe so I thought I should check it out.
I rode the top 10 miles after work on Friday evening and I'm pleased to see it has actually improved slightly. There are still several large encampments in the river bed, but almost no tents next to the trail and nothing encroaching. I still wouldn't feel comfortable being out here at night, and I think I'd like company during the day.
I didn't get a chance to ride the rest of the upper SART, hopefully it's no worse.
