Had missed the old days of Hollister July 4th rallies with 75k+ bikes, heard that the restart wasn't good, but decided this 4th would at least stay one night in Salinas on our way to hwy 1. Rode into Hollister on Friday afternoon, bike traffic on 156 was light, but once in town it started to feel like the old days, main st was closed with the bikes parked in 4 rows, and vendors on each side street. Vendors were expecting 30-40k and were already happy with Fridays crowd. Picture taken from tower around 7pm (concert time) so crowd was already thinning out.
