Deanna and I taking off for a couple of days to drive down the coast. Several times a year we pack the car for the weekend, drive over 84 to 1 at San Gregorio and head South to various stops including Santa Cruz, Monterey, Carmel, Big Sur, Lucia, San Simeon, etc. Today our destination is Cambria, about 200 miles South, where we'll spend the night and then head back home the next day. It's the drive, and not the destination, that motivates these trips so we'll take most of the two days to cover that 400 mile round trip.
I've taken a lot of beautiful drives and I think that the Califorinia coastline between San Francisco and Santa Barbara is some of the most scenic and beautiful driving that this continent has to offer. I encourage anyone living in the area or visiting to make the time to see at least some of what our coast has to offer. If you're going to be making that drive for the firsts time, let me know and I'll point you to some nice stops for food, shelter and sight-seeing.
