CA RxR 5.03: I-15 (Part 3): Devore to Nevada

Episode 5.03 is the last of three episodes on Route 15. In this episode, we explore I-15 between Devore and the Nevada Board. The focus here moves from US 395 to US 91. We explore the history of the route through the Cajon Pass and Barstow, where it was US 91, US 66, and US 395 (to Hesperia). We also explore the portion from Barstow to Nevada, which was US 91 and US 466. This also includes a discussion of the Arrowhead Trail, and the original plans that would have routed it down today’s US 95. Note: Daniel had some sound problems on this episode, so please bear with us. The next episode will focus on Route 16.
