Grove Shafter Fwy, Mosswood

When you come off the Nimitz freeway, as you head north on the way into the hills, yo get a real feel for the pleasant trip ahead of you. Grassed shoulders, planted shrubs and tree lined embankments make for a very nice start to any major road. If only they could have continued that theme. Sadly, the beauty is soon removed and you're back to bland and often beaten up scenery. Thankfully, that too is shortly lived and the freeway becomes pleasurable again just in time for the climb into the hills. A rollercoaster ride, of sorts, but a good drive North. Things can get a little congested around Caldecott tunnel at times though.
