Location #5

I call this location the Moseby Loop. It is located about 1/2 mile due south of the Moseby winery tasting room on the west side of the freeway and is on Moseby property. It took me a long time to finaly get permission to go in there, but persistance paid off, and I was finally able to get in touch with Bill Moseby, and he was kind enough to give me permission to go inside the gate, and take these pictures. I would also like to thank Mark Mendenhall, Chris Duncan, and Les Alexander for pointing me in the right direction.

The loop is accessed from the locked gate on the north end just off of the southbound freeway lanes, it curve around back toward the highway and crosses over Nojoqui creek with a concrete bridge that was built around 1915.
