    That paved area at the Bonsall bridge had a fruit stand. &nbsp;I ran the farm that had that stand in the 80’s.

    I am a sucker for anything about 395. The backside of the Sierras is my favorite place on Earth

    Steve, yours is the only video lasting almost an hour that I would watch in one sitting. Thanks for your time and efforts.

    That bit of parking lot at the curve beyond the old Bonsall Bridge was the parking area for a large fruit stand that was there before they closed the bridge.

    Steve - I tend to give a lot of the channels I binge watch (like this one) a 👍after I watch a video simply to remind myself in the future that I have already watched it, but occasionally I will forget to do that. I really appreciate you reminding us at the very end of all of your videos to do that. It has helped remind me many times!
