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!
They are the only routes I know of... I toured to Texas from San Diego some 20 years ago and the only way through the mountains then was on the interstate. Don't think the area has built up much since then.
Sounds like he had a great ride...
