closed for paving when Blue Book car was in this territory during spring 1919 we are
advised that most, if not all, of this work will be finished by fall, an achievement which
will enable the tourist to make the inland trip between San Francisco to Los Angeles
over paved roads for the entire distance. 6
Leaving Bakersfield the route traverses a level farming country; great irrigation
projects having turned thousands of hitherto almost barren acres into prosperous agri-
cultural districts. The Tejon range is reached 33 miles south of Bakersfield The

miles. From Saugus the trip takes the tourist thru beautiful orchards and prosperous
suburban towns over splendid roads balance of way to Los Angeles.
