A couple of views of and from Highway 1 that runs along the coast. Lots of hairpin turns.

‘Our Land is Your Land’
Mural in downtown Monterey.
Passing through Monterey
We left Marina early in the morning so we could stop and spend some time in Monterey as we made our way down the coast. It was around 9:00am and the center of town was abuzz with this auto auction. I think the ‘RM’ is the same person/company that has an auto auction show in TV. We stopped in a coffee shop and it was filled with high rollers ( as I would define them ) who probably own or collect the various rare cars in the auction.
Pink Dusk
Even the ocean waves seemed to be tinged with pink this evening at Marina beach.
Clouds at Dusk
Pink clouds at dusk at the beach at Marina, Ca.
Marina Beach at Dusk
Just behind this woman there was a parks department info sign, most of the information was faded beyond readability. However, someone decided a new message needed to be written. Somehow I think the woman alone on a bench and the message on the faded sign went together.
Marina, Ca. Beach
On the beach at Marina, Ca. there is a glider launch pad of sorts. It is located high on a cliff overlooking the ocean. Beautiful area from the ground. I could only imagine what it would look like from a bird’s eye view.
San Juan Bautista, pt.2
The missions were nice places to get off the road, step back in time and just slow down.
Mission San Juan Bautista
During our nine day road trip we stopped at three different missions.

North Tower- Two Views
These two images were taken minutes apart.
Above the Fog
Two more views from the Marin Headlands. Interesting to watch the fog move over the Headlands, hugging the ground.
Foggy morning
A partial view of each tower of the GG Bridge on this very foggy morning.
After the Fog
The fog would lift each day as we drove along the coast. Some very scenic spots along Hiwy.1.
Two Surfers
Surfing in the fog south of Crescent City, Ca. Two intrepid surfers heading out to catch a few waves. It was really foggy and windy this particular morning.
Coastal Cove
One of many coastal coves along Hwy.1 in California.
