Location #6

Similar to location #5, this one features a nice section of the old concrete highway, and another concrete 1915 vintage bridge over Nojoqui Creek. It is located just northeast of location #5 on the east side of the current 101 freeway. In 1908, I was able to just drive up to the property, but I think there might be a locked gate there now. The people live there were very cooperative, and gave me the ok to wander through their property, and on the old bridge to get these shots.
