That Ribbon of Highway II: Highway 99 from the State Capital to the Mexican Border

by Jill Livingston

The journey through the heart of California continues with Ribbon II in a fully revised, greatly expanded Second Edition of the popular regional history/guidebook. Motor through the fertile San Joaquin Valley, up over the Tehachapis along the Ridge Route, through sprawling greater Los Angeles, through citrus country, and across the desert to the Mexican border. Visit Roadside Attractions, enjoy an expansive crazy-quilt of crops, gaze up at water towers, explore historic highway remnants and competing neon arrows after dark. One of The Companion Volumes that Stand Alone. But you'll probably want all three books in the series. Includes 177 photographs, contemporary and historic, 30 all new maps and a detailed road log. A proven winner. Includes plenty of new material so even owners of the earlier edition will want this one.
