					<description><![CDATA[From the Archives &#8211; 1959 A lot has changed in southern Orange County since 1959. Gone are most of the orange groves and wide-open spaces. Today, this view is very different but a surprising amount of what is seen does remain. This photo, taken in 1959, shows the US 101 freeway and the original alignment &#8230; <a href="https://www.socalregion.com/featured-image-12-4-2021/" class="more-link">Continue reading <span class="screen-reader-text">Featured Image &#8211; 12/4/2021</span> <span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></a>]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Back in the 1970&#8217;s, California was &#8220;all about the freeway&#8221; it seemed. Build them so that people could go anywhere using one. Anywhere, at times, meant an offshore causeway (Pacific Coast Freeway) or over high mountain ranges where even a two-lane roadway has problems (Angeles Crest Expressway), regardless of the costs or necessity.

					<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve recently added a new section to the socalregion website. I noticed the site was lacking in resources for local roadways. In particular, information on how to contact various local agencies for road projects, logs, and maintenance. With this in mind, I&#8217;ve added a new page to help others get their roads fixed and find &#8230; <a href="https://www.socalregion.com/highway-resources-page/" class="more-link">Continue reading <span class="screen-reader-text">Highway Resources Page</span> <span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></a>]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Lately, there has been quite a bit of press about the recent &#8220;San Andreas&#8221; movie. To me, this movie sets back the general public&#8217;s knowledge and understanding about how earthquakes create damage in Southern California. Some basic stereotypes exist in the movie, many of which are completely false. Starting with the magnitude of the earthquake &#8230; <a href="https://www.socalregion.com/earthquakes-and-movies/" class="more-link">Continue reading <span class="screen-reader-text">Earthquakes and Movies</span> <span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></a>]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[In Anaheim, there exists an unlikely sight. Here, in 2014, there is an operational wigwag near an orange grove in Orange County. It is not known how long either will last, though hopefully will be preserved to show what things used to be like here. These glimpses of the past are getting rarer indeed.

					<description><![CDATA[Even in heavily built up Orange County, there can still be places where old highways can be seen. One of the best examples is located in Brea Canyon, where the Orange Freeway winds its way through open and undeveloped lands between Orange and Los Angeles Counties. Before the freeway, State 57 followed Brea Canyon Road. &#8230; <a href="https://www.socalregion.com/brea-canyon-old-highway-57/" class="more-link">Continue reading <span class="screen-reader-text">Brea Canyon &#8211; Old Highway 57</span> <span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></a>]]></description>

Sometimes I increase my record by only a few miles, sometimes by a whole lot more.

					<description><![CDATA[I haven’t gone on a long bike ride in a while. I felt I needed to, and really wanted to. A nice ride up the coast would be fun, and allow for a train return. So, I decided to set San Juan Capistrano as my goal. It seemed “easy” enough.
