Outlaws Used This Fog to Escape: The Secrets of Highway 152 Pacheco Pass

Into the Gray: The Outlaw History & Tule Fog of Pacheco Pass (Hwy 152) We left the brilliant winter blue skies of the Monterey Bay only to be swallowed by the legendary California Tule fog. In this episode of History Hounds and Happy Campers, we are making the trek home from our winter coastal trip in Watsonville. But before we can get back to the valley, we have to tackle the infamous Pacheco Pass (Highway 152 Eastbound). Join Amanda, Mom (Laura), and our 8-month-old Great Pyrenees, Lua, as we transition from the coast to the "white room" of the Central Valley. This isn't just a commute; it’s a journey through 200 years of California history—from Spanish Padres and stagecoach toll roads to notorious bandits like Tiburcio Vásquez. In this episode, we cover: The Path of the Padres: Exploring the Vereda del Padre, the original 1800s trail used by missionaries. The Outlaw's Mask: How bandits like Tiburcio Vásquez and Joaquin Murrieta used the thick Tule fog to ambush stagecoaches and vanish into the Diablo Range. Henry W. Coe State Park: A look at the Dowdy Ranch entrance and the rugged 87,000-acre wilderness bordering the pass. Bell Station: The history of the loneliest stage stop and its reputation as an outlaw hangout. San Luis Reservoir State Recreation Area: The engineering marvel of the 1960s that "drowned" the original Pacheco stopping station under millions of acre-feet of water. Road Statistics: Why this 6% grade and the 40mph crosswinds make it one of California’s most technical drives for RVers. Lua’s Progress Report 🐾 Lua is officially 8 months old! See how our Great Pyrenees teenager handles the 6% mountain grades and the eerie "white-out" conditions of the Tule fog. She’s gone from a nervous puppy to a seasoned "History Hound" who finds the mountain mist quite cozy.
