R:Right, L:Left, X:Cross, U:U-Turn, S:Straight

==============================================

(1) A "T" intersection. Might be called Mission Rd.  
    Sign will point right to King City but that is
    the long way.  If you do go that way, turn left
    at Jolon Rd and continue route.
    
(2) Large white building on right is the base store,
    usually closed.    
    
(3) This bike trail runs just north of where 101 
    crosses the Salinas River.  I've seen it but
    never been on it.  In the event it is not
    available, backtrack and take the southbound
    on-ramp to 101.  Exit just under a mile at the 
    first off-ramp,  This will put you on Broadway
    (after a 270 degree right turn) before the 
    right turn on Canal.
