It's quite the view.
Well good morning everyone. I'm over here in San Francisco. I drove all the way
here yesterday from the Fort Bragg area and it was a beautiful beautiful drive -
very windy but I did find a spot overnight and it is at the San Francisco
Welcome Center on the north side of the Golden Gate Bridge which you can see
behind me. It's just a Welcome Center like a rest stop but it was pretty busy
when I came in last night - like really busy - thankfully I was able to find a
spot but it was very very noisy until probably midnight so if you decide to
stay in a place like this over here then keep in mind that it is pretty noisy but
it's about the only spot around here that's free until you get a little bit
further south unless you want to do some street stealth camping so I was gonna
actually go into San Francisco and do some touring but I've decided against it.
There's some other things that I really wanted to do down in Carmel and Monterey and I
I'd rather do that than stay here. Being back in a big city like this stresses me
out a little bit traffic was a bit much yesterday
yeah so I don't know I've been here before and I while I like it
there's other things that I'd rather show you guys and so anyways, we're
bypassing San Francisco a little bit but you get to see the Golden Gate Bridge.
All right guys see on the road.
I put some decals on.
We just left San Francisco
Pescadaro
You like it out here.
Well we made it to Monterey California and we were just coming into the city
kind of over by the Monterey Bay Aquarium, but we are not going to that.
It's very expensive. It's about fifty dollars to get in and I have been once
before and I kind of have a little bit of a hang-up about I don't know, animals
even fish, being caged. I don't even go to zoos.
So our first stop is Lovers Point over here in Monterey Bay.
I was just in Pacific Grove and now we're starting another quest drive over
here off of 17 mile drive which is 17 miles of shoreline and golf course and
we are going to find the lone cypress tree - which is pretty spectacular because
it's this one tree that is sitting out all by itself kind of as the name
suggests. The lone cypress. Alright we're about to start it so I'm excited. I got
all this beautiful ocean water over. Here here we go. (Maury) Hello. (Amber) Hey they're charging
$10.25 now. (Maury) Drive tour? Is that right? (Amber) Yeah, are you cool? (Maury) Um, yeah I guess so. (Amber) okay, bye.
All right this is the new bridge for Big Sur that was washed out a couple of
years ago. Looks like they're still doing construction on it
but hey it's open
I'm glad. You can probably see the area over here on
the dirt slide.
Wow, what a drive that was. It was fun though I love it it's a beautiful drive.
You got to see the Big Sur bridge. Oh my gosh can you believe that it is back up,
in business, down to one lane still, but hey you can get through. That was the
landslide that happened a couple of years ago where it took out the bridge and
everything below it so they actually got it back working and they had shut down
Highway one until they got that finished. So you could probably hear a little bit
of road noise. Let me show you. That is one right there and I am pulled off into
an overlook, not in the slide area, I made sure I made sure it was not in a
slight area but it's a big overlook guys you can see the Sun going down this big
ole tree should be nice and quiet tonight we came from that direction well
good morning everyone woke up over here and my overlooked spot
- a beautiful day as you can see it's sunny outside
it was a really great night actually very quiet no traffic died down of
course it was so dark outside and this is the highway 100 all down this road
limits really dark out so make for a really quite evening yeah I'm going to
get ready head out and keep going further since there is no cell service
here actually either tried my Verizon and my ATT and neither of them sometimes
we don't have to have cell service and just enjoy the outdoors and the peace
right
