California Road Trip Day 8

Day eight of our California road trip was spent along California highway one north of San Simeon till we could go no further... a landslide has closed it. We were without cell service all day! What a gorgeous drive and what a glorious day! I couldn’t even call my Mom today — well, at one roadside park I could have used the pay phone; I didn’t know that those still exist! How can I edit the pics to a reasonable quantity?

John keeps a rod & reel handy. No nibbles this time.

Brannon shows Clemmie critters in the tide pools. When Bran was Clem’s age we made up stories about jumping through tide pools to other worlds.

Some of the treescapes made me wonder if John Paul Schulz’s creations might sometimes escape their dishes and grow to giant size along the shore.


We didn’t feed these little beggars but someone has.

We had great fun on this toppled but still growing conifer. At 74 I still aspire to climb trees.

A young motorcyclist at this spot gave us a green pebble he found.

Bob W Gipson today is sorta a road day... I’m perusing FB, cajoling grandkids, and playing NYT Spelling Bee while my SIL is driving us up the Salinas Valley right now. Oil wells, vineyards, windmills, and big agricultural fields.

we were trying to have a family vacation there this summer but couldn’t rent a house this late. I have been there 4 times, twice in the 60’s. Once in the 90’s and once in the winter. Have two friends who lived in West Yellowstone year round. One them might have a daughter the live your area.

The end of Highway One for now... the landslide completely covers the road. Tomorrow ( today now) we’ll make the big detour around this section and continue north to Carmel-by-the-Sea.
