J1 East / Panoche Road (Proposed 180) in San Benito County
This is all from February 9, 2013. I had been on this road a lot but I
never saw snow in the nearby mountains before. There was a little snow
by the side of the road but I couldn't get a photo of it. I am
surprised these galleries are getting visits because I already had
"regular" galleries of this highway since the 1990s. This runs
from Highway 25 to ten miles east of Highway
25. Since these sets are unique I will leave them up permanently. The
first two photos were taken a few miles south of Hollister on Highway 25 and the snow
in the distance is in the Panoche Pass area that is crossed by J1.
This is a shot of wild mustard in bloom on 25. A bobcat ran across the road
through here. I have seen a lot of snakes on the road out here before.
This is another shot of wild mustard on 25 closer to J1. I had seen snakes out
here but I
never saw bobcats.
This is J1 just past 25. There was a bike race this day near here and that is
why so many cars were parked at the side of the road.
