Back on the road, we could see a lot of construction at the southern end of the twisty windy drive.
"What are they doing, building Minas Tirith?" my husband said. Or maybe it's Helm's Deep.
We followed the line of cars across the SLO County line and past Ragged Point. They were almost all turning right to the elephant seal viewing area. Handy was so tempted to drive on past, but how can you pass the elephant seals, I ask you?
Finally, the road opened up and there was no traffic in front of him. Handy was happy.
But he's not this bad...
What a road to drive on! Iconic.
ReplyDeleteI am not sure what the engineering is - but they are trying to build the road so it isn't closed half the time by rock slides. It really wrecks havoc on all the local businesses and tourism.
ReplyDeleteHow wonderful that you happened on Ano Nuevo when the seals were out!!
I love Big Sur. Then again, who doesn't?
ReplyDeleteDid you ever know a guy named Duane McKee from the Valley? He was a couple years ahead of me, so probably not. I swear you two must have been at the same place at the same time! He posted a picture of elephant seals on that same beach on Facebook the same day. The world gets smaller every day!
