Gary, can't remember that there was that much to see. I have made the
trip many times years ago when working for both SF and SP out of
Bakersfield. You can get an overhead view by going to google earth.
Just outside the tunnel of the loop, there used to be a farm where we
would throw the sunday paper out in their back yard.
