Chapter 7 - The Bypassed East

Weather - When it comes to weather relating it to the Bypassed East, Santa Clarita is nothing like that where the seasonal months are too extreme.  The Santa Clarita Valley can get hot, but minus the humidity and it can also get cold, but minus the snow.

                              

Farming - The only major farming that takes place near the SCV is in Fillmore off the 126 Freeway or a little north towards Lombardi Ranch when their family owned pumpkin patch opens up to the public.  Also, plenty of residents have small gardens nestled away on their land so animals don't destroy them.

Lakes and Transportation Routes - Castaic Lake is the main lake in the valley to go fishing at which I have done multiple times.  Santa Clarita is quite similar to the Bypassed East where it is "near major transportation routes, but not on them. (pg. 130)"  The 126 and 5 Interstates are two great ways to travel north up the state with a great view of the beaches or up through the grapevine of farmlands.
