We are nearing the end of my big adventure on California’s Highway One… which, of course, since I am doing the story of my trip to the Bay Area backwards means we still have a long way to go… but let’s finish this part up with style… and large sea mammals…

Even more Highway 1… oh, and maybe you shouldn’t ever take pictures out of the front window of your car while you are driving on a fog-shrouded, winding highway thousands of feet above the raging Pacific as it pounds on jagged rocks…

I stopped and walked out on the bridge over the Big Sur river to take these pictures… Then I continued South up the coast… And that is when the fog really started closing in… It didn’t do anything to detract from the … Continue reading →
