Wow, all the times I went through there on the way up Eureka Canyon to Rider Road or Summmit, and I had no idea.... Like Heinlein before him, and as John has already observed, Tim hates having hippies camp out on his driveway.
Cheers, RAH
Before I arrived in the area (1976) Corralitos WAS where the 'hippies' lived, and Aptos (gasp!), up on Cathedral... Before it was paved. Yuppies hate it when the paint on their bimmer (update: Tesla) gets rock chipped. As the road got paved, the commuters moved in. Even Watsonville, after everyone figured out it wasn't much farther to go over Hecker Pass and up 101. For a while Zayante Road, a tiny winding two-laner without shoulders out of Felton became a commuter speedway unsafe for kids walking to school b/c Zayante > Summit rd > Bear Creek rd > 17 was much more fun and avoided the Highway 17 traffic almost to Los Gatos. Los Gatos USED TO BE a outlaw biker hideaway! Hipster Geek Invasion... and it's not over yet. RR
