					<description><![CDATA[Back in July 2017, I took a trip out east, partially following old US 80 east of El Cajon, CA. One of the goals was to take photos of a section I had passed countless times before but never stopped at. The section in question was near Flinn Springs. This old alignment was bypassed in &#8230; <a href="https://www.socalregion.com/old-us-80-and-a-lesson/" class="more-link">Continue reading <span class="screen-reader-text">Old US 80 and a lesson</span> <span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></a>]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[San Diego&#8217;s Mission Valley has changed quite a bit over the last century. It has gone from farms to condos. Dairys to grocery stores. Dirt roads to major freeways. In 1947, the first iteration of the current State 163 / I-8 interchange was completed as shown here. Left on and offramps were the order of &#8230; <a href="https://www.socalregion.com/from-the-archives-1953/" class="more-link">Continue reading <span class="screen-reader-text">From the Archives &#8211; 1953</span> <span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></a>]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[The view is looking east from the Taylor St ramps on I-8, then signed as US 80, in 1960. A lot has changed in San Diego&#8217;s Mission Valley in the 62 years since this photo was taken. At the time, Mission Valley was sparsely developed with mostly open lands and dairy farms filling the valley. &#8230; <a href="https://www.socalregion.com/from-the-archives-1960/" class="more-link">Continue reading <span class="screen-reader-text">From the Archives &#8211; 1960</span> <span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></a>]]></description>

A bit more of a breeze would have helped though. We all met at 9 am at Laguna Summit and started with cleaning I-8.

This one will be in eastern San Diego County and cover two sections of highway, I-8 at Laguna Summit (Sunrise Highway) and US 80. My section of I-8 runs from the summit to two miles east with about 1/2 of it able to be cleaned.

My newest section of Adopt-A-Highway, here in San Diego County, is finally signed. Now that it is signed and I have a permit in hand, it is time for a cleanup.

The highway, as it was then, had changed little since its last upgrade between 1928 and 1932. While much of the highway was on a better alignment than before, the section between Alpine and Descanso still needed more &#8230; <a href="https://www.socalregion.com/a-tunnel-on-us-80/" class="more-link">Continue reading <span class="screen-reader-text">A tunnel on US 80?</span> <span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></a>]]></description>
