The Historic Highway 99 Association of California has posted a new video for the highway’s centennial discussing the history of the highway, what happened to it, and what replaced it. They also discuss how you can learn more about the road and the adventures you may find along the road. Come check it out!

A Santa Ana wind event in January 2026 cleared the air after a storm, revealing some impressive vistas. Here, you can see snow-capped Mt San Gorgonio in the San Bernardino Mountain, about 90 miles away from the University City area of San Diego at sunset. The hills in the middle-ground are near San Marcos.
Old US 60 in eastern Moreno Valley
A short section of original US 60 can be found east of the intersection of Allesandro Blvd and Gilman Springs Road in the eastern Moreno Valley. This section of US 60 was bypassed by the current alignment, now State Route 60, in 1936. Gilman Springs Road, at that time, became State Route 79, which was rerouted onto Lamb Canyon Road to the east in 1963.
It is not known exactly when this section of concrete roadway was built but, judging by the records of other sections in the vicinity, it is likely that it was built around 1917. Gilman Springs road was realigned here, bypassing this short stretch, sometime in the late 1930’s or early 1940’s.

Coaster Event – Magic Mountain – April 11, 2026
The American Coaster Enthusiasts is holding an official event at Six Flags Magic Mountain on Saturday, April 11, 2026 called West Coast ACErs. They need 100 people to make it happen AND you must either be an ACE member or accompanied by one. I highly recommend coming as you’ll get ERT (Exclusive Ride Time) on Twisted Colossus and Wonder Woman. Imagine being on TC dueling, at night, with two trains full of coaster enthusiasts!
