THE WEEKENDER-PACIFIC COAST HIGHWAY

ON HIGHWAY 1
     This was the scene this week on our most recent drive through Big Sur. It was that magic stretch of Highway 1, the Pacific Coast Highway, which took hold of our hearts on our first journey in 1969.
      As our pal Jim, who introduced us to Big Sur, said, "It never disappoints."
      There is something new along America's iconic coast highway.
   The extraordinary construction between Lime Kiln and the 
Bixby bridge continues.
   The shot below shows the massive bridge like cover that is being built in an area prone to slides and washouts.  The stone edifice is being connected to the mountain wall.
    It was just north of there where we caught up with the past.  Our Weekender Video shows you something you likely have never seen.  Enjoy.
A UNIQUE SCENE
    See you down the trail.

  2. I concur about Big Sur and the Pacific Coast highway. It has something to do with the rocks and sea crashing together, producing something that is sublime in the literal sense of the word: solids and liquid subliming into different states of matter.

    It's been a couple of years now, and your post makes me realize how much I need to get back there.
