Location #9

When the freeway bypass was built in 1952, it cut off a small section of the old 101 route that has been left pretty much undisturbed over the years. It's now called Miossi Rd, and is located in the area just north and northeast of Cuesta Canyon Park. It has gates on both ends, but is drivable. This section is remarkably well preserved. It couln't have looked much different than this 70 years ago.

Updated 3/29/05.... The last 3 photos south of Cuesta Canyon Park were added.
