LA Trip VII: Salinas Valley, up Highway One to Half Moon Bay

Near the end of this final stretch, we got stuck in a three hour traffic jam in Half Moon Bay, of all places. We spent 16 hours on the road Monday.

Off to our west we could see the ridge line that marked the eastern reaches of Big Sur, apparently reachable through windy small roads. Off to our east, Pinnacles National Park.

Beautiful ridge formed by glaciers dead ahead. In this shot to the right, and in the one below, you can see grey trees, following the Salinas River, many presumably dead from the Drought.




Shots above near Castroville, where we stopped at a produce stand.


Davenport.



Pescadero Beach, I think.







Click on this and just to the left of the center of the horizon you might be able to make out the lighthouse in the distance.
