It was once the sign to follow from coast-to-coast… Savannah, Ga., on the Atlantic Ocean, to San Diego, Calif., on the Pacific.

In Southern California, it ran through city streets, mountains and desert. What’s left today is a great road to explore.. a plank road, wide boulevard and twisting mountain highway. Join the Weekend Driver as he cruises the California segment of the road, now a historic highway.
