Seems like it was much easier to get away with sleeping in your car back then...

Fascinating! Thank you!
Remember: If the women don't find you handsome, they should at least find you handy.

I'd rather be a child of the road than a son of a ditch.


At what age do you tell a highway that it's been adopted?

What a great series!  AM radio, cars you can recognize but the Grand Canyon still looks the same for some silly reason...LOL!

US 101 is THE backbone of the Pacific coast from Bandon OR to Willits CA.  Industry, tourism and local traffic would be gone or severely crippled without it being in functioning condition in BOTH states.

What a terrific find! I' reading the whole thing. :)

I think that the first yellow EXIT ONLY tab I saw was in 1965. This one looks rather un-Californian, at least to my southern eye:



I just like this photo. :)

The street lamp has a "suction cup" style luminaire and I spotted a Chevrolet Corvair.  Quite a historical shot.
