I'm now calling this the western states great road ride of 2009. National Parks are nice but no longer a high priority.
Left Morro Bay this morning and after a quick stop turned onto Route 1 headed north. Ocean breaking on the rocks to my left cliffs to my right flipped on the radio as the road opened up ahead in time to hear the last stanza of Springsteen singing:
"The dogs on main street howl,
'cause they understand,
If I could take one moment into my hands
Mister, I ain't a boy, no, I'm a man,
And I believe in a promised land."
Road north all morning enjoying one of the greatest coast roads in existence. Past San Simeon up through Big Sur from waters edge to the cliffs high above winding back and forth mile after mile.
Stopped for lunch in Carmel By The Sea at a little Bistro just off the roadway. After lunch continued into Monterrey before turning inland.
Yea, it was as good as it sounds.
Not to many pictures today just the ones locked in my head. An image on the screen or written description just doesn't do justice to the day.
Headed inland and stopped for the night just outside of Yosemite, head there in the morning.
PS
Krys, saw several convertibles with the top down enjoying the road and the day we have to do that.

It's only day 4, and you've already axed the national parks?!?! What could be more fun than seeing families wandering around looking at and taking pictures in front of all different kinds of trees?? Are you guys afraid you'll scare 'em off?
Have fun! Love you!!
Genna, you are your father's child! Nice thing about this ride...you can sing to your heart's content. Maybe Springsteen will need a backup vocal.
Love, me
PS About the convertible...what am I doing here?
