Agree on all counts. Best views year round!

And I remember when there wasn’t an I-5 in the San Joaquin valley.

Having grown up in the San Joaquin Valley with close relatives in San Francisco, I remember driving old 99. I was too little to remember how we got to SF but I remember the old Casa de Fruita. How far it's come from those days!
