You're in luck. I've attached a recent snapshot.

Wow! That is big!

One just a bit smaller here, swallowed my entire pickup just yesterday.
I'd like it back now, please.

You're in luck. I've attached a recent snapshot.

I love to pull up old threads!

I read in another old thread where KTSOTR said, "I don’t recall ever having been on that road! That is saying something for a transplanted Californian who drove every road he could find for 25+ years."

Well Dave, I recently drove on a road simply known as "The Old Hwy" that went from Cathey's Valley to Mariposa Ca. While the first few miles are picturesque and smooth, the last ten were so rough I wasn't sure if it was full of holes or covered with mole hills. Needless to say by the time I got to Mariposa every bolt on the truck had rattled loose, including all of my dental fillings!

Suey,

Happy to “see” you!!

I looked up the “Old Hwy” on Google. It a sign of good judgment that you took it!!!

Traveling the back roads in the Mother Lode country is usually fascinating, and it has been too many years since I have done it. There are so many stories, and very often old “ruins” to enjoy.

I couldn’t resist looking at the road on Google Earth street view. The further away from Mormon Bar, the narrower the road. It looks like it is almost down to one lane in spots, and clearly doesn’t have a center line. Good stuff.

I note that Stone House is marked on my map. I grabbed a shot of it off Google Earth. I can’t find any description on the web, but it looks old. Did you notice it? It is near the intersection with Old Schoolhouse Road.
