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.

Olives!
The olive trees in the parking lot at the corner of Sixth and East Streets are bearing fruit now. Be careful where you walk. I wonder if anyone gathers the olives.
Speaking of olives, the third annual San Benito Olive Festival is a month away—Saturday, October 17, 2015 at Bolado Park. Our county's fun, foodie event features olive oils, chocolates, Blenheim apricots, wines, and other products that are grown and produced in our area. To see the growing list of participants, check out this page at the San Benito Olive Festival website.

Mission Burial Ground
The Mission San Juan Bautista cemetery overlooks the San Andreas Fault and the San Juan Valley. This burial ground is accessed through the mission. Historians say that over 4,000 people of the Mutsun tribe were buried in the cemetery during the mission period. The last Mutsun was buried there in 1930.

Red Fireplug
I couldn't help taking a photo of this vintage fire hydrant in Tres Pinos. It's so darn cute in its redness.
It's going to be another hot day. Be sure to drink enough water and stick to the shady part of the street. See you tomorrow.
