Many people have told me that they used to ride their horses on the I-805 before it was completed. I couldn't quite conjure up that image because I didn't live here back then. I had never seen it before it became a busy, fast-moving interstate.

You might even recognize the names of those horseback riders!










Glad to say my horse and I were a part of those lucky ones! It was good FUN! Enjoyed riding it quite a bit including with other horseback riding friends. One of the destinations from Bonita rd was up to L st then to Inkopah st to see family👍
