Monterey County’s modern ghost towns

Southeast Monterey County is a world away from Monterey, Carmel, and the vineyards on the coastal hillsides. The Monterey County Weekly took a trip to some of the towns that have been left behind by Highway 101 and coastal development. Towns that are vestiges of the days when El Camino was a principal artery from one end of the state to the other. It’s a little far afield from the San Mateo County coastside, but worth reading.
