Highway 1 construction forced a great deal of debris into the path of the stream and the water runs through a culvert, not under a bridge into the present channel.

Isn't it weird how it hugs the south side of the canyon? And appears to have abandoned its older channel in the middle of the canyon?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
