Day Seven | San Simeon, CA – San Francisco, CA | 285 miles

This was intended to be a relaxing ride down the PCH and that is just what it was for the most part.

Started off with the thought of visiting Hearst Castle but after thinking about the amount of time we would spend there, the krewe voted another trip.

There was no doubt His light was shining down on us.

The entire day would be filled with a rugged coastline filled with icy waters.

It was early am, the day would be nice and the elephant seals were already fighting for their position on the beach!

These massive mammals move slow and toot loud!  A fun time watching mother nature at work.

The fog would be hugging the coastline for the entire morning.

After a few stops along the way, it was time to hit Big Sur!

Our lunch stop would be at my favorite place in Big Sur with a creek to cool you down.

Before leaving Big Sur I need to address an issue with the inflation in my tires.  Good time California has air pumps everywhere. Even in Big Sur!

One of the most photographs bridges in California, the Bixby Bridge.

Opened in 1932 at a cost of less than $200,000, the equivalent of $3.16 million in 2020, this bridge is 360 ft long.

You see folks from all around the whole at this site.

When it was completed, it was the highest single-span arch bridge in the world, and it remains one of the tallest.

Hello San Francisco!

We arrived in late afternoon near 5pm!

Wow!  A number of locations closed permanently since my last recent visit!
