From the parking lot I could run up a mountain of unknown name. Notice the intricated network of faded trails and roads. Some people call these streches of Hwy 1 'Planet of the Apes' road. Can you tell where this is?

Welcome!

So, this is a thing I just created to document and discuss forgotten gems of the SF peninsula coast. Specially interesting to me are those streches of coast that not easily accesible from Highway 1 and can only be reached by foot or mountainbike. Also, lost pieces of the coast history, like chunks of old Hwy 1 hanging off some cliff, ghost towns, traces of aboriginal peoples as well as cool decaying industrial views or military installations. Do you GoogleEarth some spot in the coast and wonder WHAT IS THIS? HOW DO I GET THERE? WHO DID THIS? Well, share with us your suggestions, pictures and explorations of terra incognita around us.
