After getting off the beaten path I spotted this concrete structure which normally should be under the waters of the lake. |
I hiked down to the concrete structure to investigate further and attempt to determine its former purpose. |
Upon viewing it from the south I determined it was a bridge for the former Pozo Road before the lake was formed. |
Mike and Oscar made a discovery on this eroded stone outcropping just above the aforementioned concrete bridge ruin. |
Chumash bedrock mortars. |
The choice of location for this bedrock mortar site is obvious given it is at the junction of the Salinas River and a tributary. |
My little monster amidst these wildflowers. I fear this may be as vivid as wildflowers get this year in the North County. |
The bed of the Salinas River is outlined as a swath down the middle of the dead reed-covered dry bed of the eastern end of Santa Margarita Lake. |
We found the remains of an old park outhouse... again off the beaten path we usually take here. All photos by Kim Patrick Noyes (all rights reserved). |
