Powershell select a single property as a raw type

I have a script that's supposed to create some folders if they don't already exist. 

"a","b","c" `
    | select @{Name="path"; Expression={Join-Path "C:\temp" $_}} `
    | select -ExpandProperty path `
    | where { -Not (Test-Path $_)}

Is it possible to extract the string from Join-Path more elegantly that assigning it to a named property path in the new object and then using another select with -ExpandProperty?

Why not simply:

"a","b","c" | %{ 
    Join-Path "C:\temp" $_ } | where { -not (Test-Path $_)}
