♥ CA










We spent the 3 day weekend driving along the California coast and back for around 1300 miles, about 800 miles of that on the windy, narrow, scenic and rather treacherous at times, hwy 1. We stopped for scenery and photos at Morro Bay, Pismo Beach, Hearst Castle, Big Sur, Carmel, Santa Cruz, Half Moon Bay, San Francisco, Stinson Beach, Muir Woods, Hitchcock's Bodega Bay, Mendocino, Fort Bragg and collected glass pebbles at Glass Beach.

The views throughout the drive are breathtaking and we drove by rolling green hills dotted with many many cows, some sheep and horses, at least 6 llamas, many ranches, redwood forests, big waves crashing against steep cliffs, gorgeous beaches, sleepy towns, endless fields of yellow flowers, dense fog, and so many unique sights all along the California coast. One evening we drove about 100 miles in the dark on a very windy road and there was not a single car going in our direction, which I confirmed when we stopped for gas. It was beautiful, sometimes a little scary, but absolutely amazing. These are a few photos on film from the road trip.
