A ride to Monterey, Carmel, Big Sur and Hwy. 1 central coast 7/2,3 & 4/2011
« on: July 07, 2011, 02:54:22 PM »
Terrie and I rode to the Monterey Bay area and points south for the 4th of July weekend and had a great time.  Come along and join us for the ride....

Fishermen's Wharf, Monterey


The best parking spot on Cannery Row.....in front of Sly McFly's












Misc. views around Cannery Row....














We watched the tourists take pics of our bikes for as long as they were parked there.  We were taking pics of them. ;D

And look who showed up.....Ernie & Elana, Marty and Andy & Sherry....










and a blast from the past......just to make you feel young again  :)







and time for more riding....more pics in a few..............

After Andy, Ernie, Marty and the girls left, we rode south along the coast.

Just a bit overcast and chilly on Sat. afternoon.......but Sun and Mon the 4th would prove to be very warm. :2vrolijk_21:















The surfers were out in force.....photos of them later....








The next morning, Sat......no fog!  This is a shot of Montery Bay from Hwy. 101 at Sand City...


We decided to ride to Carmel for breakfast.  A quick stop at their beach first.....





a look back at the Monterey pennisnula

This dog could get lost in the sand.....

Looking further south towards Point Lobos......our next stop.




and the wild life didn't seem to be to wild.....





about time for breakfast.  A lady on the beach told us about Fryer Tucks on 5th & Dolores in downtown Carmel.  The fare and ombionce was nice enough but it's the owner and his twisted sarcastic humor is what keeps them going back.  Come on along, let's go to Fryer Tucks.....

Fryer Tucks is a "must" if you're in Carmel.....
This is our approach.....


And this is a picture that's in their window.....this guy is sure to be a carachicture!



That's him at the stove, his wife....a charming lady, on the left....

And so you don't forget where it's at.....


Time to roll again......

Mission Carmel.....next stop! :2vrolijk_21:


 




Some of you guys probably remember when it was built....... :huepfenlol2:



It was Sun. so it was time for church.  Of course we didn't go in......didn't want the roof falling in.  :nervous:











Why sure.....they have b-b-q's at the missions.  And it looks like we're just in time :P



What do you see in there?
























O.K. the suns been out for awhile.....let's get back inside for a bit before we roll

Another typical California road sign.....they are a plenty. :2vrolijk_21:

Point Lobos......we have arrived! :2vrolijk_21:























As the pictures reflect, the little five minute hike to the top of the point is well worth the exercise.....but it will give you a cardio workout.

That's Terrie sitting down there at the top left of the ramp.






and fair warning..... :nervous:

More typical California hwy. signs......






And here is where the highway slid into the ocean a couple of months ago.  Open to one lane now....

Rollin on down the coast....






Pffiffer Burns State Park





An underground spring flows year around at this location......the only place on earth where a natural water fall dumps into the ocean....(well, that's what I read....if you can believe what you read).

and, probably a good thing, there isn't any access to that beach down there.  Pretty much straight up and down.



This is as close as I could get legally (and mainly due to all the poison oak) to where the creek actually drops off the cliff.  This is taken from up above, looking down at the creek right at the edge.
