A few months ago, I decided to purchase a new domain in the anticipation of moving to northern California. Whether or not that move takes place, I still own that domain. As such, this site may be expanding in scope to cover a few more counties. The new site, NorCalRegion.Com, is still a work in progess, but will cover highways and geology in the northern half of the state. Where that line will be drawn is still being worked out. Look for updates in the coming months for these changes and expansions.

New Highway Tips coming soon
I’m working on a new “Highway Tips” post, should be done next week. This installment will discuss highway signage from small roadside signs to the large overhead signs on freeways.
New Highway Topics coming soon!
After doing a bit of thinking, I came up with an idea of a new regular feature for the site. I will be posting, with some regularity but no set interval, various topics of regarding highway features. An example, explanations of various types of striping and what they mean. These topics will be California-specific, but some things are more “universal”. Look for the first post in the next few days.
Upcoming Highway Tours
While no dates are set as yet. I am planning to do two more tours in the next couple of months. The first tour will be in early October and will cover US 80 from San Diego to Ocotillo, unless temperatures are predicted above 90 F. After that, the next tour, sometime in early November, will cover US 99 from Newhall Pass to Grapevine. The accessible portion of the Ridge Route will also be covered, depending on the weather. Dates will be set in the next couple of weeks.
Cajon Pass Tour – Update
See you out there in the Cajon Pass on Saturday, August 12 at 8 am. While it will be warm, the tour should be a lot of fun. Make sure to bring water and good shoes to walk in. There will be more tours in the future, the next one will be in late September covering either US 99 from Los Angeles to Grapevine or US 80 from San Diego to Ocotillo.
