Today, the Historic Highway 99 Association of California with the City of Calexico, posted new Historic Route signs at the south end of old US 99. Come see the photos!
Curious about those sirens around Los Angeles? This person mapped them all and has information about each one as well.
I will be starting a monthly presentation series via Zoom starting next month. The first presentation, through the Historic Highway 99 Association of California, will be on the Ridge Route Alternate section of old US 99 north of Los Angeles. Future presentations haven’t been decided yet. I’m looking to you for suggestions. What topics, specific or general, would you like me to cover? Topics can range from bicycling, motorcycling, geology, highways, railroads, and more. Preferably it would be some topic that is related to what this site covers. I’m open to suggestions! What do you think? Use the comment section or send me a message!
For reference, these presentations will range from 30 minutes to an hour, with time for questions after. They will also be toward the beginning of the month.
On Tuesday, April 6 at 6pm, I will be giving a presentation via Zoom on the Ridge Route Alternate section of US 99 during the regular monthly meeting of the Historic Highway 99 Association of California. It will cover the history of the roadway from its original construction through to its replacement by I-5 from Castaic to Tejon Pass. The presentation will include some rarer photos of the route and have time at the end for questions. Come join us and learn a bit about the history of US 99 in Southern California!

After two moves, and two more uploads, the site is now, hopefully, all up and running. All the images seems to be in place and the rest of the site seems to be functioning. If you see something out-of-order, please let me know. Otherwise, finally all moved to the new server. I had forgotten about the SFTP vs FTP limits on files which was the main cause of the problems.
