patgundWIshed my camera worked this trip, but used the folding bicycle I brought with me to bike a closed off portion of old Highway 99 between Piru Creek and Pyramid Dam this morning.
Which included crossing a bridge I'd only seen in pictures, half of it was built in 1932, and it was widened in 1951. As a result, it has different guardrails on each side, the 1932 side has wooden rails, the 1951 side has metal.
Since I don't have pictures, check this site out.

I also drove 99 business though Bakersfield, which is the pre-1962 alignment of 99.
So, at this point, I've driven the majority of 99 from Calexico to British Columbia, excepting the old 99E alignment in California.
