STANDING ON THE EDGE

Pacific Coast Highway, CA

And, I gotta say looking down made my stomach cringe. This is along the very winding road leading up to Big Sur on Pacific Highway 1. Taken as the sun was going down. Not fun to drive at night, by the way, and some old lady was driving 20 miles an hour in front of me forever! Instead of taking about an hour or so to get to Monterey it took 3. It was very dark by the time I got into Monterey. Slept like a baby! Now it is time to head towards San Francisco.

You came to California during all our fires. Hope they didn't ruin your trip.

Yes, that is a challenging drive. You had great light for this fine shot.

Wonderful image. I hate that road. Have taken portions of it. Too windy for my rv.

Lovely image! I remember a song from way back, (Johnny Rivers?) entitled "Going back to Big Sur". I've never been. Glad you made it

Wow!!!! What a view!!!! I'd die for that view. (Hint: keep the horizon straight. Hope you don't mind the comment).

It certainly is a beautiful drive...at 20mph you had time to enjoy the scenery at least.

Fabulous shot Cindi, we did the Highway 1 drive in Oct 2004, it was entirely memorable...every single mile!!

Love that rugged coast line!

It's a magnificent place - so glad you chose to take Hwy 1 - it's so much prettier than I 5, even if you have to follow someone going 20mph! So sorry to miss the meet up in San Diego, but it sure looks like you all had a great day.
