What grand scenery on this drive. Coming around that hill around 42:09, wow. Such majestic ranges on both sides of the road for quite a while. Some great side shots. I love the big open spaces of these valleys, especially at 54:45.
Yes, I really enjoyed taking this drive. This is certainly a classic example of a rain shadow with the mountains capturing most of the moisture and the leeward side of the mountains being left high and dry. I'm glad you enjoyed it, too.
I would like to see US highway 395 widen to a four lane freeway where it is currently one lane in each direction between California state route 190 and 136 in Olancha.
@@dustino.2297 When I drove through there in early summer 2024 there was construction going and equipment working to the west of the current highway. It looked like they were working on a new stretch of 4 lane road. You can see the new alignment on Google Maps satellite.
US highway 395 is only dangerous if the traveler makes it dangerous because there are areas where highway 395 is only one lane in each direction and I have seen drivers crossing over to pass on the wrong side of the road where this highway is one lane each way. Will the one lane section of US 395 in Olancha ever be widen to a four lane expressway?
A beautiful broad landscapes along the roads ❤❤❤❤❤!
Thank you for watching. I'm glad you enjoyed it.
So peaceful!
Thanks for watching.
