| About 1.6 miles (2.0 km) east of the San Benito townsite, Old Hernandez Road climbs up onto a small bluff. From this vantage point we can look back toward the townsite. This photograph is looking down river. The pinkish trees along the river are tamarisk. | ||

| At about 4 miles, Old Hernandez Road fords the San Benito River. Thinking it should be an easy ford, we plunged in. However, about half way across there was a hole in the ford and the nose of the 4-Runner dropped down another foot. Fortunately, we made it through, but next time, I'll stop and get out and check the ford before proceeding. | ||
| Just after fording the San Benito River, we came upon these cows. | ||

At each end of Old Hernandez Road, the road is paved. The middle section is a very good dirt road. | |
