Encinitas is located about ten miles south of my hometown of Oceanside, in north San Diego County, California. This arch crosses over Coast Highway 101. I have driven under it countless times, as it was one of two alternate routes I would drive – other than major highway I-5 – going to or from high school in the 1970s.
