A historic U.S. 99 shield is posted along westbound California 36 as the highway enters metropolitan Red Bluff. Originally we thought Caltrans erected this sign, consdering that it's on a state highway. However, Warren Jensen corrected us: "Historic 99 shields are paid for by community groups in our area, so thank the people of Red Bluff. Thanks, folks! Ironically, the section pictured was never part of U.S. 99. The original alignment was north of this point (the original bridges across these flood channels of the Sacramento are historic landmarks and are worth a side trip)." Photo taken 01/20/03.
