The summit is here (Patchen Pass) and here is the site of a landslide cleared away.
This is past the summit.
Note the burned out hillsides in the distance. Those hills
burned in
July 1985.
This was taken during Labor Day weekend in 1987. I used a zoom
lens to
show how things were growing back here.
There is no interchange with Blossom
Hill
Road. Highway

These next pictures of Highway 17 are from 8/25/2006, and are
from
85 to Hamilton Avenue.
I can't believe I had my camera not only in my hands but also
it was
on when I saw this!
Note the mountain bike rider on the shoulder, on 10/15/2008.
Bike
riding on most California freeways is illegal, and this part of
17 is a
dicey ride even in a car sometimes.
