Location #9

This location is another picturesque example of the original 1915 concrete highway. It stretches from just west of the creek on the west side of the Gaviota Oil Hosting Facility back toward the freeway. At the west end there used to be an old store and Chevron gas station, along with a restaurant. I plan on adding a seperate location for this as soon as I gather some more information, and gain access to the ruins.
