Driving On Californias Long Abandoned Highway 80

➜ Heads Up! You need a 4WD or AWD to get to this spot now. The road is rough
►Brief Summary of the Video: Today I check out a small segment of Abandoned Highway 80 in San Diego. Nowadays Interstate 8 cuts through and takes over where most of the original highway was, but in some areas you can still find some of it leftover from when it was built 100 years ago. If you do come to this spot, please leave it how it is. The roads condition is amazing for its time, and any vandalism or graffiti would be a terrible addition to it. Please leave it how you found it.

Martin Luther King used highway 80 in a famous sermon called “Unfulfilled Dreams.”

[@AdventuringwithTrevor]

[@B14k3]

My parents grew up in San Diego. My dad was born in 1951, and my mom was born in 1952, so they were both here when 80 was still in use, and the 125 hadn't even started being built yet.

[@anonymous3738]

Roads must be one of the few usable things in public when abandoned, as long as they’re not too damaged. It would make an exciting road trip.

[@RennyRoo18]

It’s part of the abandoned section you can still drive; you can still drive it in Jacumba and Boulevard, through Pine Valley and Descanso, then ends before you get to 8. So fascinated with this road! Saddens me they had to destroy it to make the 8, they could’ve rerouted to keep it, or most of it.

I love the history of this place. People don't realize how cool San Diego is. Its more than the downtown area. But you'll love PNW, so much to see and do up there. Great job on the video!

[@AdventuringwithTrevor]

San diego has some amazing history and i do love it, but its become too expensive and i think the PNW will have some amazing opportunities and definitely infinite exploring spots. Ill be back here a lot though!

[@mitchellbarnow1709]

I love the old Golden State Highway and the Old Ridge Route used before Interstate 5 through the Grapevine was built. Pyramid Lake’s Dam buried the old Highway 99. It’s two hours north of San Diego.

[@AdventuringwithTrevor]

Ive driven passed Pyramid Lake a few times never knew about that though. Ill have to look into it for sure 👀

[@mitchellbarnow1709]

@@AdventuringwithTrevor I would love that video Trevor!

[@UrbanKiwiana]

Ehh hello Trevor..I missed a few imagine..this was amazing I love old history like this untouched an preserved as best as I can be. Happy new years

[@AdventuringwithTrevor]

Happy New Year! Glad youre doing well. And thank you! super cool spot though. i heard about it a few years ago and always wanted to go, and once i got my new car i kinda somehow forgot about it until now. Super glad i was able to make it through that rough patch of road

[@willthetrill4849]

Perfect spot to drive a Ford F-150 Raptor

[@THX-vb8yz]

10:40 Old rock billboards? I believe back in the day (1900s to 1930s). They or powers to be allowed to use nature's billboards (aka rocks) That's really cool!!

[@slworking2]

Sweet! I definitely gotta check out this section of the old Highway 80. I've been to other parts of it, but not this mile long driveable portion.

[@AdventuringwithTrevor]

Definitely worth checking out! Lots of cool history around there and feels cool driving on a road lost to time

[@slworking2]

@@AdventuringwithTrevor Yeah. And I like how you found the ancient piece of pottery... and put it back for others to enjoy (what I always do, too).

[@AdventuringwithTrevor]

@@slworking2 dont want the pottery curse! Nah but yeah man its so cool i could never take it. Firm believer in only taking pictures(and video👀) and leaving footsteps

[@goodguygto]

There's also a section of Old Highway 80 right after Pine Valley, CA

[@AdventuringwithTrevor]

I was thinking of checking that out soon! I hear you cant drive on it after a certain point, but is a fun hike

[@goodguygto]

@@AdventuringwithTrevor Oh!, okay so you know what part of the Old Highway I'm talking about. Exit 40 and go east Wildwood Glen Lane make a left. That bridge is actually original, you should go down to the creek, pretty nice area.👍👍✌️

[@basspeggarr5169]

Thanks Jordi!

[@leechjim8023]

[@chuckpugh1165]

Nice job.

[@mitchellbarnow1709]

You’re moving to the Portland or Seattle areas or maybe further east like Bend or Spokane?

[@AdventuringwithTrevor]

Thinking the greater Seattle area! Maybe Olympia though 🤔 wouldnt be until next summer though probably!

[@RobConstantine]

Cool video interstate eight runs east to west. Not north and south..

[@dubblekil]

Fellow trek owner how high of a lift are you at? I’m stock and want to check this out

[@AdventuringwithTrevor]

I am also stock! But i do have some all terrain tires which mightve added a natural half inch lift but im honestly not 100% on that :)

[@afritzy4204]

Is the Date farm still out that way? I remember as a kid my parents often drove down hwy 80, this was back in the sixties and 70s and one of our favorite stops was at the old Date Farm, we also used to stop at the castle that is made entirely out of rocks, not sure what the real name is, I only remember being called the Castle. Anyways it is worth looking into if either is still there or just simply abandon. Enjoy your video.

[@jessiev7322]

Where was this castle located?

[@RescueRick4208]

15:28 You have somewhere to be at. Where? 😁

[@AdventuringwithTrevor]

To celebrate!

[@leechjim8023]

PNW too wet and gloomy☹️

[@arandomdewd]

I have a dream that one day I will dive into some highway 80 cheeks

[@Davidisntapro]

That’s a small ass road for for a highway was it a one was road Lmaoo. Didn’t even know this existed

[@AdventuringwithTrevor]

It was not a one way road actually! Would have had my heart racing back in the day 😂

[@arandomdewd]

[@williamriley-jones]

@@AdventuringwithTrevor hey I was wondering if you could tell me how you got to that section of road I wanna drive it on my bike
