If you live in Southern California, you know about a stretch of road called the “Grapevine”. This post is more for my east coast friends who have never been west of the Mississippi. The section of road runs through the Angeles National Forest from the urban sprawl of Los Angeles to the acres of farmland in the California Central Valley. The road can be particularly nasty during winter months with ice and snow (but not so much of recent years).
Often times we will stop at the town of Castaic for lunch. Castaic is the southern terminus of the Grapevine. Castaic is the last bit of civilization before we hit the Grapevine.
So we will be heading up through the Grapevine on our way to San Francisco for an OES reception on Saturday.
Here’s the map.
And while we’re on the subject here is in a blast from the past, Marvin Gaye singing “I Heard it though the Grapevine”
Listen and enjoy.
