Was asked by my son to accompany him and a buddy on a three day ride from San Diego to Arizona. At 72 years of age, I was a bit hesitant to try this, but decided that I could quit if it got too tough for me.
Great report!
Very familiar country to me. Used to live in Pine Valley, mom was born in Imperial Valley and grandpa was one of the original settlers of Holtville. Lived in San Diego and frequently went to OB/PB/La Jolla. My dad taught in Sunset View Elementary on Point Loma.
How did you go from Pine Valley/Jacumba to Imperial Valley?
Only routes I know are Mountain Springs Grade (I-8) and CA 78 through Julian.
Help me out here.
Did you go on the freeway? That would be SOME ride down Mtn Springs Grade - Wow!
