Route 393—Paso Robles to Salinas, Cal.—99.6 m.
Reverse Route 29.
Via San Miguel, San Lucas, King City and Soledad. Concrete etate highway the
entire distance.
When Blue Book car was in this territory during summer of 1919 to secure road infor-
mation for the 1920 edition the highway between San Ardo and San Lucas was closed
for paving and a temporary detour had to be followed. Some slight discrepancies in
mileage might therefore be encountered in the following route matter.
The route follows the Salinas river thru a pretty valley, bordered on each side by a
chain of hills, which are particularly attractive in the early spring and after the rainy
.—MILEAGE-^ season of the winter months. A great variety of crops is raised on the
Distance fertile soil along the river bed.
Note (a) RC)ute 29 & ives a connection from Soledad to the Pinnacles.
