CatSynth Journeys - Historic US 101 from Carlsbad to Oceanside

Sep 5, 2025 | CatSynth TV

Amanda Chaudhary of CatSynthTV posts another peaceful ride along featuring Crumar Spirit, Novachord, Stardust 201, and Mercury-4.

We cruise along Historic US 101 in the southern California beach towns of Carlsbad and Oceanside. Also known as Coast Highway (and Carlsbad Blvd within the eponymous city limits), this was part of the original US 101 in California that stretched from San Diego to the Oregon border. It was truncated to Los Angeles in 1964, and several of the former sections to the south have been signed as "Historic US 101". This segment is also signed as San Diego county route S21.
