Reassurance shield after the SR 11 exit. Enjoy that reassurance shield, it’s the last acceptable one for a while.

Reassurance shield after Cook Rd. The non-cutout shields along this route are gone, which is both happy and sad.

 This is one of the most beautiful stretches of non-oceanfront interstate in the country, rivaling I-40 from Knoxville, TN to Asheville, NC and I-93 from Canada to Manchester, NH (and, from what I understand, I-70 from the Utah line to Denver).
