I post original videos on mostly Southern California highway and geology related topics, when I can. Most of my videos have been taken on my motorcycles as well. More information about topics covered here can also be found on my website - socalregion.com - Southern California Regional Rocks and Roads website.
Landslide on I-5 between Whitaker Summit and Big Oak Flat (Templin Highway)
In March 2023, a section of southbound I-5 began to slide into Canton Creek between Whitaker Summit and Big Oak Flat. The slide has taken out the southbound shoulder and a portion of the #4 and #3 lanes. At the toe of the slide, Canton Creek has been blocked, creating a small lake.

US 99 sign revealed near the 5 / 134 interchange
Переглядів 245Рік тому
In 1961, the Golden State Freeway was still US 99. In 1965, I-5 replaced US 99 and the sign was modified. In 2023, the overlay fell off revealing a nice US 99 SOUTH sign. The other portion of the overlay hides a State 134 EAST sign as, in 1961, State 134 continued along the Golden State Freeway to Colorado Street.

Ridge Route - US 99 - Tumble Inn to State 138 - Updated
Переглядів 1,1 тис.6 років тому
Taken on a motorcycle ride from the Tumble Inn (north gate) to State 138 in November 2015. Speed was around 15-20 mph maximum. Roadway conditions vary greatly. The asphalt, south of Sandberg, is from the late 1920's with some "recent" overlays. The concrete, when exposed, is from 1917-1919. The road also needs your help. Please contact the Ridge Route Preservation Organization at ridgeroute.org...
