brings back memories of when my family used to travel to Los Angeles regularly. one time we were heading back at night, and the view as we descended into the Central Valley was spectacular. it told us home was not that far away.
I use to drive a fuel tanker truck out of Bakersfield to the LA harbor.... I'm retired now living in Oklahoma and man I love the ride but the traffic is way crazy.... I have literally been over the grapevine hundreds of times.... Thanks again for the memories!!!!!!!!!!! 😎😎😎👍👍👍🌠🌠🌠
+luvcarsgay The descent into Central Valley is very reminiscent of the Mountain Pass along I-15 (approaching CA and NV state line), only at a steeper grade! That part is always a thrill to ride. Btw, planning to redo this one day, since this one was captured with a cell phone.
+American Roads Mountain Pass on I-15 is like that, and if I remember right, the individual passes on I-8 just east of the San Diego/Imperial County line (each carriage uses a different pass, due to the mountainous terrain, which results in separation of up to 1.5 miles between the carriages of I-8) are also like that. EB I-8 uses one pass to descend into the Imperial Valley and WB I-8 ascends into the mountains using a different pass.
I-5 north 99 hwy 395 hwy , pacific coast hwy , big sur , death valley , Yosemite, Lake Tahoe , sequoia, summer around the corner , I can't wait. Love California
I've never traveled this route, although I've been to Bakersfield. I've heard of Tejon pass many times on weather reports, considering the snowfall that sometimes occurs in the area.
That drive is best in the late winter when the mountains are all green and theres still a bit of snow on the peaks, also the 58 from Mojave towards Bakersfield.
On thing of the highway of tejón is that the drivers there are horrible especially going north the highways towards Bakersfield man it is really bad there
