Even though they are now on the National Register of Historic Places, they are not out of danger yet.
Back on Arbor Day in 1930 and 1931, various organizations in Gilroy, California went out to the Hecker Pass Highway and planted cedars all along the roadway. Of these, 115 Deoder cedars and 20 oak cedars still remain, but these are in danger because of planned road enlargement because of the large numbers of people moving to Gilroy.
They are located along a 1.39 mile stretch between Santa Teresa Blvd. and Uvas Creek. They make for a very enjoyable drive. Let's hope they will be able to do something to save them. Perhaps build a new road and leaving this stretch as a linear park.

RoadDog's RoadLog Blog: Being my travels down those great two lane highways of this nation as well as news I learn about them from media sources. Since I'm also very interested in historic preservation, there will be a lot of that as well.
The Shamrock Court Motel in Sullivan, Missouri. It can be yours for $125,000. Lots of possibilities. Actually, now you're too late. Missouri's Roamin' Rich bought it.
