Bye Bye Pacific Coast

It's been two days since my last update... and let me start of by saying THANK GOD I'M OFF OF THE PACIFIC COAST HIGHWAY. I've been on it since Friday Afternoon... It was an incredible journey for sure... I'm estimating I traveled about 800 miles on it. That's not a ton of miles... usually. But on this highway, it is an enormous amount of mileage to cover. Much of it is up, down, turn left, turn right, slow down, speed up... constantly turning back and forth. Remember the cones in drivers education class where you had to weave in and out? That's what this was like - weaving, constantly turning, breaking, flooring it, etc. What bothered me the most was actually having to pay attention about 80% of the time. I couldn't goof off as much behind the wheel - I had to focus. So yes, I've developed a love/hate feeling toward the pacific coast highway. Obviously I love it for what it has to offer - unbelievable scenic routes, breath-taking photography opportunities, interesting coastal towns, and even traveling through some beautiful woods with the massive redwood trees. But enough is enough. After 800 miles, I had seen enough. I know, enough of the whining. Here are some pics of Pacific Coast!!!
