Hwy 1, Twists and Cliffs

On towards Big Sur. This Hwy 1 is in need of lots of repair from recent rock slides. Look at this road, there are no shoulders on either side of the road. Sometimes, only one foot is between your vehicle and the side of the mountain and there are fences to help restrain the rocks.    This twisting, turning, winding road, right on the edge of the Pacific, where many car commercials have been filmed, has more spectacular views than I could ever have imagined. Several locals just shook their heads when we told them we were driving a 36’ RV towing a car. They told us to go a different way and there are signs discouraging it. I have to say there wasn’t any room for error, but we wanted beauty and excitement. Did we ever get it. I have to give Tommy props. He can really handle that machine. Thank you.

We stopped at a vista point and talked with this girl. Her job is to track California Condors. The Condors are making a slow come back and now there are over 300 in the wild. They mate for life and usually only have one chick every other year.  We were not lucky enough to see one, not yet anyway.
