In this I-8 travel series, I plan to reverse their route, and to travel inland from the coast of California, heading east on the I-8 until I reach that freeway’s terminus in Arizona. Editor’s Note: In my quest to find Jewish stories wherever I go, I decided there is no place like home to illustrate the concept that “there is a Jewish story everywhere.” Interstate 8 roughly follows the traditional route that settlers took in their covered wagons in the mid-19 th century to get to San Diego from the American Southeast.
