Interstate 8 travels from near the ocean in San Diego, CA to the junction of Interstate 10, just outside Casa Grande, AZ. The freeway isn't very old, with construction only beginning on it in the 1960s, but that doesn't mean there isn't a lot of history to be found along the way. Some of it is just a little harder to find.

In this video we travel along Interstate 8 in California to look at some of the hidden and forgotten history along the road. From lost graves to the last links to a forgotten history hidden in plain site, we visit a number of places on this trip.
