Driving from San Francisco thru LA to San Diego - California

Drive took place Sept 22, 2004 from 9:00 am to about 3:00 pm.
Thru the middle of California between San Francisco and Los Angeles is one of America's great bread-baskets.

John's Trip Comments

Vegetable & Fruits of all sizes and shapes are grown in this very fertile country-side. As you enter Los Angeles on the way to San Diego the landscape changes to one of highways and people everywhere. San Diego in the harbor area attempts to put on a park place atmosphere. I found it quite contrasting, as the farmland in the fertile valley, is so different from the heavy population of Los Angeses and San Diego.

John`s Recollections - 2009

This drive from San Fransico travelled mostly thru what is termed the breadbasket of America. Until you are able to view parts of it, it is impossible to realize how large of an area it really is. Also there are numerous types of crops, many of which supply our appetites during the cold northern winter climates. Closer to Los Angeles the San Gabriel Mountains begin and within miles so does the traffic. From Los Angeles to San Diego you are basically driving in a city type atmosphere.
