Coastal California

We spent about a week traveling slowly down the coast of California. This was on Highway 1 mostly, about as close as you can get to the Pacific without actually getting wet. The road was narrow, very winding, and quite exposed in some places. It reminded me of a Koots logging road with narrow hairpin turns, steep hills. The pavement was the one difference, plus the great views of the Ocean.

I do have to say, though, that the California Coast seemed not as nice as Oregon. The State parks were scruffy, there are, of course, more people and houses the further south you go and things in general are more expensive. And the Oregon coast is more rugged and wild. I guess as you go further south you get into more big beach territory. Still, it was nice. More pictures are on my Facebook page.
