Hollister, California is a real town that has been around since the 1870s. Unlike the fictional town created by a corporate clothing company, Hollister is no where near a beach. The town is about 45 miles east of the Pacific Ocean. Seagulls occasionally make their way over the mountains. Hopefully, they are able to find their way back.

Another Point of View
Last week, I posted a glance of Fremont's Peak from Hollister. Today, you can see how part of Hollister looks from Fremont's Peak.
What do you think that body of water is in the foreground?

Merrily, We Go Round and Round
Got small kids? Need them to work out their ya-ya's after being cooped indoors. How about a treat on the carousel at Casa de Fruta?

G is for Garbage Dump
It's not what you think. This is at the top of the John Smith Road Landfill, the local dump for San Benito County. It is possible that one of these days, way, way, waaaaaaay in the future, the landfill may be a solid mountain peak like that in the distance. Think about it.

The Last Remains
This is what remains of the last apricot orchard on Hillcrest Road. The owners have slowly been pulling out the trees over the last few years. I understand that eventually this land will be paved with homes and apartments.

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?
