Yet More Barbed Wire Fence Along the Grizzly Flat Road

A short stop on a bike ride up the Grizzly Flat / North Trail in Upper Stevens Creek County Park and what do you know, there's more barbed wire fence.

This location is a few hundred yards below the start of what I call the middle road which also has fence along the down hill side. Judging by the depth of wood that's grown around the barbed wire where it was fastened to live trees, both fences seem to be of similar age and construction.

What do you think this road/fence was built for? I'm starting to think there was some sort of ranch on this ridge, very similar to ranches on the next two ridges to the north. In upcoming videos, I'll try exploring some other areas to see if the location of any old ranch buildings can be found.
