Taube ranch good except for short
stretches of rough road.
San BernardinO County Paved !
from, San Bernardino to the summit
of Cajon Pass, thence excellent dirt
road to Victorvile and Barstow. Bar
stow to Ludlow, good. Note-Still ad- |
visable to route travel from Ludlow
on the north road passing Klondyke
station on the right to Amboy. The I!
National Old Trails road between
Ludlow and Amboy is reported to be
extremely rough and generally dis
agreeable. The cutoff from Cadiz to
Parker is passable but not advisable !
the preferable route by way of
Needles to Parker. Redlands to Yucca
ipa paved, thence good dirt road to
Oak Glen. Lytle Creek Canyon road
to Glen ranch good. Upland to Camp
| Badly in excellent condition. All roads
leading into Big Bear country are in
very good condition, although some
dust and slightly rough spots are to
be expected on account of the heavy
travel. Victorville to Big Bear lake
by way of the desert in good condition
but very warm. Los Angeles to For
est Home pavement complete dis
tance of 76 miles to power house, then
good dirt road the remaining 7 1-2
miles to Forest Home.
San Diego County-Paved from the
Orange county line through Oceanside
to short distance this side of La
Jolla with exception of few short
stretches where bridges are under
construction, thence a short stretch
of good dirt road, after which pave
ment is had to a point 3 1-2 miles
south of La Jolla. Good dirt road from
that point to city limits of San Diego.
From San Diego by way of Indio st.
paved to the junction of old town
and Ocean Beach roads, thence good
dirt road through old town to bridge.
Paved from this point to a point one
mile south of Camp Kearney. The
first five miles after leaving the pave
ment will be found slightly rough,
but good dirt road is ahd over the
Poway grade through Escondido, Bon
sell and Fallbrook to the summit of
Red Mountain grade, which is the
Riverside county line. San Diego by
way of University avenue through Ell
Cajon to within four miles of AL
pine, paved, thence excellent dirt road
| by way of Descanso to Campo with
the exception cf short stretch of
rather rough and narrow road in the
vicinity of Buckman Springs. The
new cutoff from Willows to a juno
tion of the main road 1-8 mile east of
the junction of Warmers Hot Springs
and Julian road is preferable, being
smooth and wide with no heavy grade
This will save three miles over Vegas
, grade. The state is now working on
new road between Buckman Spring
and Jacumba which will shorten the
main highway about Is miles. Descan-
so by way of Cuyamaca Lake and Ju
liam to Pine Hills in very good condi
ton at this time. To Pine Hills by
way of Santa Isabel to Warmers good.
San Diego by way of La Mesa and
Porrero to Campo, good.
Orange County-Three and one-half
miles in the Santa Ana canyon on
what is known as Sulphur Slide is !
now being paved. 1t is probable that
this work will take most of the fall |
A temporary detour will be maintain
ed along the edge of the river, which |
will be somewhat soft at first and is
apt to get little rough, due to heavy
hauling. The road from Orange by /
way of Orange County park to Mo-
jeskas home and back to the highway
by way of Ell Toro is in good condition
Santa Rna to Laguna, paved COM
pletely Lagune to San Juan Capis-
trano, very fair dirt road with the eX-
ception of the last four miles to Ser
IA station, which is rough. San Juan
Capistrano to San Juan Hot Springs
good dirt road.
