| Pyramid Lake - Los Angeles County 2023 |
As I recall, we always, in the olden days, referred to the highway 99 route from Los Angeles to Bakersfield as the Ridge Route. The route was upgraded to interstate highway five in 1970. Thenceforth I guess that it gradually became known as the Grapevine. I posted a photo of the lower section of the route in 2019.
From Wikipedia:
Pyramid Lake is a reservoir formed by Pyramid Dam on Piru Creek in the eastern San Emigdio Mountains, near Castaic, Southern California. It is a part of the West Branch California Aqueduct, which is a part of the California State Water Project. Its water is fed by the system after being pumped up from the San Joaquin Valley and through the Tehachapi Mountains.
Someday I'll have to drive down to the parking lot shown in the lower photo. Someday.
