Hi Joel,

My name is David DeSantis and I live in the Santa Cruz area, and have been interested in roads since I was young. I correspond with Joe Rouse pretty often...I also post on MTR once in a while. I like your pages with the photos, and the Caltrans Bloopers Page is pretty cool. I know of a few bloopers/oddities around here and plan to take pics and submitthem to you.

I have interests in roadway design, highway lighting, and historical photos, and I love to travel. What are your favorite interests, at least roadway related? Oh one more thing, I also correspond with another roadgeek, Jeff Waller who lives locally!

Well I would like to write more later, but need to run...will be back!
