So a couple weeks ago I'm coming home westbound on I-10 from Palm Desert,
and I decide to take CA-30-soon-to-be-21 up to I-215 to the Cajon Pass.
Driving along the northern edge of San Bernardino, I see an orange sign

Say, you are driving and get turned around.  You make a left down a
sidestreet.  You pop out onto the main drag and there are lots and
lots of people.  Do you back up the one-way street or try to drive

State Route 366 forms a path best described as a "squiggly V".  On departure
from its oriental terminus, this less-traveled line of pavement bumps up in
elevation en route to Hurricane Pass:

Graham County quintessentially defines one's conceptual view of Arizona.
 There's flat land surrounded by sharp-angled mountains.  You're
thousands of feet up in the air, the air itself is hot and dry, and
shrubs and cactii of all sizes outfit the land.  Those quintessential

Here in California we have a Do Not Block Intersection law (section

Let's take a little break from the American Southwest photos.  Don't fret;
there's plenty more to come from the Grand Canyon State.  In the meantime,
the Worldwide Highway Library has captured a video of California State Route

In New Mexico, you can't get much further west of State Route 338.  So,
let's hop into Arizona and add some more photographs into the Worldwide
Highway Library.  To compliment that video of the "191/10" cutoff video you
