From the Inside Flap:

BACK COVER COPY: The road topped the crest of the Siskiyous, cut through a 4000' mountain pass chiseled out of solid rock, headed sharply downhill and south, and in a couple of miles crossed into a part of California sitting on the southern threshold of the conifer-covered Pacific Northwest. 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.
