Thanks...

yah, looks like Tow Mater, good one!

The photo was taken in April, 2001 along the eastern El Camino Real, just beyond the drivable road... as we hhiked to old Rancho San Gregorio... west of Bahia de los Angeles, southeast from Mision San Borja. I was with my son Chris, Amo Pescar and Neal & Marian Johns.

Marian taught Christopher how to search for arrowheads that day... and he found some pieces (I never have my entire life)! LOL

Here are more photos of San Gregorio (note the carved blocks, dating from the mission-era):









Now see the ranch when it was busy, about 1955 in these photos from Howard Gulick:
