Hames Location 6

Location #6

Locations #4 through #7 were all accessed from a locked gate at the northern end of the property owned by Sam Avila. This gate is located on the east side of the freeway about a mile south of the Alvarado Rd exit. Margaret Avila was kind enough to meet me at the gate, and let me in to capture these images, and all the milage measurements used here are relative to this gate. This area is one of the most beautiful in the entire project, and I hope you enjoy looking at these shots as much as I enjoyed taking them.

Location #6 covers the old route in the area from .9 miles to 1.6 miles from the north gate. This is still on the property of Sam Avila.

	1.6 miles south of the gate. View looking south. These cows were checking me pretty close.
	1.5 miles south of the gate. View looking south.
	Same place as the above photo. View looking north.
	1.1 miles south of the gate. View looking south. Note the wonderful shale bedding planes exposed in the cut here.
	Same spot as the above photo looking north. The bedding planes look like a wall when viewed from this direction.
	.9 miles from the gate. View looking south as the road drops to the south into the Salinas river flood plain.
	Close-up showing coarse gravel matrix and asphalt.
	View facing south from just north of the above photos. Freeway is close here on the right.
