Location #3

El Capitan Ranch Rd. Another section of the old cement road located about 3 miles west of the Naples Access Rd. Location #2, but on the north side of the freeway. I wasn't able to get access to the east end of this back in 2008, but I plan to try again in 2019. When I do get to finish shooting here, I also plan to get a shot or two of an old WWII POW camp that was located on the other side of the freeway from here.

This old store/Shell station was somewhere just west of this location in the 30's. Completely gone today.
