Location #A
Added 6/09/05.... Because of the recent very heavy rainy season, Cal-Trans was forced to deal with some landslide problems on the Cuesta Grade. At this location, on the east side of the freeway about 1/2 mile south of the summit, they were nice enough to bulldoze a temporary path to get equipment up on the hill which allowed be to easily access a section of the old cement highway that I previously was not able to get to.
When they cut the path, the cut
into a buried piece of the old highway. |
|
Geologists in the future will be puzzled by this rare formation of cement with iron rebar poking out of it. |
|
View looking east from near
the freeway. The path is here, but the cement is buried. |
|
View looking north as the old
road curves around the canyon. The cement is exposed here. |

View facing north. |
|
I guess the mud built up here
over the years. I just thought this looked cool, so I took the shot. |
|
View looking back south down
the grade. This area near the top was incredibly steep. Must have been
fun to drive in those old cars. |
