Liebre Summit is the highest point of the Old Ridge Route Road.

Pyramid Lake is visible in the distance. Roadrunners, quail, hawks and rabbits can be seen in this area.

The Ridge Route opened to Bakersfield in 1915. At the time it was only graded and oiled. Paving began in 1917 after the roadway had settled. When initial paving concluded in 1920 the highway was a twenty foot wide slab of reinforced concrete ... just enough room to pass a large oncoming truck.

The Sheriff enforced the 15 MPH speed limit (12 MPH for some heavier trucks). Typical drive time from Los Angeles to Bakersfield was twelve hours.

That 15 mph limit sure seems appropriate given the road and autos back then. Perfect spot for caching.

Found this cache as well as many others on a 4 day weekend trip for Veteran's Day (both Photom and JPD43 are retired USAF & Fresgo served in the USN) and Fresgo's upcoming birthday. We had a blast!
