Over 900 miles later it ended in a sweltering desert valley on the border of another country. Inbetween, it bisected the state neatly into East and West. On its way south, it crossed mountain ranges, wound through tortuous river canyons, bee-lined across broad valleys dotted with magnificent oaks, passed through fertile fields and orchards, made its mark an innumerable settlements, large and small.This was US Highway 99.
