Recedite, plebes! Gero rem imperialem!
Tuesday - 10/27/26, a 75+ mile morning ride.

But first...

Marciel Rd

Cattle country

Midway Rd.
This old tank truck near Patterson Pass Rd has been there over 30 years and the fan hanging off the front of the engine has never
seized up. It's always spins when the Altamont winds pickup. Yes, it was spinning when I took this pic.
.
.
This is sign is where Midway Rd meets Patterson Pass. The Trail continues up over the Pass towards Livermore, then turns left on Cross Rd to Telsa Rd
then down to Mines Rd. From Mines Rd it goes up and over Hamilton to San Jose then to what is now San Francisco.
The Juan Bautista de Anza National Historic Trail is a 1,210-mile trail extending from Nogales on the U.S.-Mexico border in Arizona, through the California desert and coastal areas in Southern California and the Central Coast region to San Francisco. The trail commemorates the 1775–1776 land route that Spanish commander Juan Bautista de Anza took from the Sonora y Sinaloa Province of New Spain in Colonial Mexico through to Las Californias Province.
