West from the Randall Trail trailhead, there is a little spur trail that leads to the Olema Valley Trail. Out in Olema Valley, Olema Creek is flowing northwest into Tomales Bay. A hundred meters or so further west isPine Gulch Creek, flowing southeast to Bolinas Lagoon. A shutter ridge, raised by pressure on the San Andreas fault, separates the two creeks. While the juxtaposition of the two creeks is easily seen on a map, it is much harder to see in the field. Olema Creek is a limpid little creek in this location, with barely any current. Pine Gulch Creek is mostly hidden from view, as the Olema Valley Trail keeps to the tops of the shutter ridges between the two creeks.

| | CayucosThe earliest documented historical beginnings of Cayucos trace back to thriving ranches which preceded any organized settlements. The town began as a port for shipping agricultural products in 1867. Construction of a pier in 1871 further benefitted commerce and development of a town. In the fall of 1875, William F. Babcock recorded a subdivision map for Cayucos and it officially became a town. By the turn of the century, Cayucos had two churches, a school, four banks, about seven saloons, and five hotels. There was also a thriving support industry of blacksmiths, general merchandise stores, and other businesses which appeared as the community grew. | Other Articles: California Highway 41: Morro Bay | at CA Hwy 41Junction: California Highway 41, Atascadero Road | Other Articles: Main Street: at CA Hwy 1 | at Main St.Junction: Main Street

Highway 101.San Luis Obispo was founded as the Mission San Luis Obispo de Tolosa in 1772 by Father Junípero Serra. The mission was named after Saint Louis, a 13th Century Bishop of Toulouse, France. Mission San Luis Obispo de Tolosa was the fifth mission in the California chain of 21 missions along El Camino Real. The closest mission to the south is La Purisima Concepcion, while the closest mission to the north is San Miguel Arcangel. The City of San Luis Obispo serves as the commercial and cultural hub of California’s Central Coast, as well as being the county seat of San Luis Obispo County. One of California’s oldest communities, the city was was first incorporated in 1856. With a population of 44,000, the City is located eight miles from the Pacific Ocean and is midway between San Francisco and Los Angeles at the junction of Highway 101 and scenic Highway 1. A well-known state university and my alma mater, California Polytechnic State University, is located on the north edge of town.
