Cajon Pass - Saturday 4/15/2006

We drove through the Cajon Pass on our way down for an early Easter dinner. I always get excited in places like this. It’s a major and historic pass through the mountains. Many lives funnel through here on any given day and have for a long time.

A toll road was built through this pass in 1961. Old Route 66 went through here. It’s still the shortest way to get from San Diego to Las Vegas (15.) Dozens of trains move through the pass every day. And it’s another impressive part of the San Andreas Fault system.


These bright carnations were on cousin V's coffee table when we arrived there. Cheery!
