A night under the big reds

Highway 1 - L.A. to San Francisco

Monday 5 May
This is a top pick! ... all along the end of the wharf. Our next stop was down the Pacific Highway into the Los Padres National Forest and the Big Sur Area. This is probably one of the world's most scenic drives, up high along the cliff edge looking out onto the ...
Pacific Highway 1

'Scuse me, Sur
This is a top pick! The highlight of the PCH has to be Big Sur National Park. We stopped at almost every viewing point to stand in awe and snap away. The pictures seldom do justice but simultaneously it was hard to take a bad photo. Check it ...
California Coast
Big Sur, California Thursday, June 4th Sitting by a stream at a campground in Big Sur. Dappled sunlight, warm, quiet. Too many days to catch up on, better get started.... Our last full day in LA we had a good long walk on the wide wide clean ...

National Parks
We were definitely not expecting California to be this beautiful. The journey seriously reminded us of some of our trips in Australia. Big Sur has many national parks and great long walks. We were lucky to find space at Deetjens Inn, this place had so ...
Dash to Big Sur
... cliff-side roads in the dark. We'd probably have found a watery grave before the signs for the campsite. Anyhow, we got to Big Sur Campground and Cabins near Pfeiffer Beach just as the sun was setting; gorgeous little camp ground in the middle of a ...
Holy Headwind
... up we took off for the day, all ready to get some major biking done. We biked out of the campground and were instantly met with a big gust of wind. We hoped that it would die down, but the wind was at our face all day. It was exhausting, to say the ...
Binging on Burritos in Big Sur!
... , as she would simultaneously pull over and stop on a sometimes postage-stamp piece of shoulder, so I could snap a few pictures. Big Sur appeals to every sense (except taste and the sixth), as the sights, smell, view, and touch are all excited ...
Gorda Springs - Tues, 7/21 - Updating Map
After three weeks on the road, I'm finally taking some time to figure out Travelpod. It's really a pretty simple site if you start out right and update each day. I've added several locations from the period 7/18 through 7/22 in order to update the map so ...
Beautiful Coast
... we weren't staying overnight and only stopped for lunch. We made it up to a small town called Monterey Bay which was the end of big sur and stayed over night, where we ate the best Clam Chowder for dinner!! They're huge on their clam chowder over here, ...
Big Sur – take the scenic route in life
... 'ckig gehalten hat, gab es auf dem weiteren Weg deutlich weniger PhotoStops, strandtauglich war das Wetter auch nicht wirklich (wir haben es probiert, ehrlich!) und so waren wir erstaunlich schnell aus der Big Sur-Gegend raus. Aber schön ...
Coastal drive
... Sea, better known for once having Clint Eastwood as it's mayor many years ago, you wont find any MacDonalds here. The drive down the Big Sur coastline is somewhat similar to the Great Ocean Road, & we were lucky to have a lovely day in which to do ...
Cruising the 101
... ; We found ourselves stopping every few minutes to take photos along the long stretch of road that wound its way along the California coast. The Big Sur could be a trip in itself. Grab a van, mates and a surfboard and take a road trip stopping at all the ...

Road Trip
... in Santa Cruz, which is a bit of a bohemian town (so had a good veggie restaurant) and headed for the coastal drive down 'Big Sur' the next day. It is a really spectacular drive - probably the most beautiful scenery we have seen on the trip so far. We ...
Big Sur - or should that be Big Smoke....
... a few wrong roads trying to get out of here (Sacramento all over again!) but finally managed it. As we got nearer to Big Sur the smoke got increasingly thicker, and when we got on Coastal Highway 1 at Monterey we discovered that the road was closed ...
PCH Blessed
... offered us a ride from Lucia to Big Sur. Apparently the road was a bit treacherous and cell service would be spotty until well outside of Big Sur. Hearing about the road made us nervous so we made plans with Tim to meet at an inn in Lucia. He ...
Final Day at Morro Bay
... go to Yosemite. Maybe next year?? After all that was sorted, we went out to the beach at San Simeon, at the start of the Big Sur. The weather was lovely, the kids loved it, and I fell asleep on the beach. We had the beach practically to ourselves, ...

Big Sur!! Yes Sir!!
... stinky as we discovered. Imagine musk, but much, much worse. The dramatic coastline is just beautiful, and we headed up to Big Sur amongst ominous clouds. The sunny shores of So Cal were retreating in our rearview mirror when the first rains we had ...
Big Sur, Highway-1, and Yosemite
... beyond, but it's the section between San Fran and LA which is the most talked about, and specifically around the sleepy relaxed Big Sur. The Mexican influences are noticeable everywhere, and if I had to guess up to 40% of the population speak Spanish, ...
