Working on the Railroad

 

Repair work was being done on the railroad tracks in town earlier in this month. Does that mean there will be more trains coming into Hollister?

What if the proposed bullet train swerved at Highway 198 and came up parallel to Highway 25? Now don't get excited. Nothing like that is happening. It just seems to make more sense than going through Pacheco Pass, doesn't it?

A Pause from the Rain

You've Got Mail

 

A very scenic bicycle ride from Hollister to Tres Pinos is by way of Southside Road, which travels kind of parallel to Highway 25. One of the neat sights on the road is this mailbox that keeps on doing its job. Regardless.

Heading East on McCloskey Road

There's nothing like getting on the old bicycle and pedaling around the area. We really live in a beautiful place.
