Walking to the Farmers Market (part 3)

Leucadia Blog: Walking to the Farmers Market (part 2)


Continuing south on Vulcan Ave towards the farmers market and the massive Torrey Pine tree ahead. I wonder how old it is?

Looking back north. Our goat path is bleak but functional. In the distance the coast highway corridor looks nice, especially the old growth eucalyptus trees.
The majority of the traffic passing by on Vulcan seemed to be speeding. The big dip in front of the trailer park took non-locals by surprise and there cars would clank loudly when they hit it at full speed.

Another of the many Malboro reds cigarette packs that line the path (see part 2)

Heading in the right direction. Believe it or not, some people objected to the installation of these signs.

If you walk the entire Leucadia rail line you encounter many of these makeshift memorials marking where people have lost their lives by being struck by the train. Some are suicides and some are accidents. All are sad.

I've always wondered what lurks below Leucadia. C.H.U.D.s?

A small amount of beauty amidst the NCTD scorched earth zone.

  1. Shit his family did make it past Part 2....well I'll be.

    That dude has balls.

    I can't wait to see if hes still alive for part 4....

    did he actually walk the goatpath all the way to farmers market and cross the road and survive the squirelly speeders?

    Did he even notice paper rose or was he to concerned about the cars hauling ass just inches from his wife and son?

  2. Ahhh man JP. Dont point out any nice trees. The City will come and cut it down to promote the "leucadia keep it crappy theme".

    Watch. tomorrow you'll see an arborist looking at the base of the tree. In two months it will be gone.

  3. If the city would just get off its ass and build 3 story mixed used along vulcan that would make it safer and make the distance between JP's house and the farmer's market shorter.
