Day 13 - Sunday, April 10 - Monterey to Ventura

 

Monterey Bay... breaking camp...

   

A fast drive through Monterey...

 

       

 

     

 

Monterey's Cannery Row...

         

 

On through Monterey...

 

       

 

       

 

     

 

Carmel-By-The-Sea...

 

 

Whilst in Carmel I found myself behind a car with a window sticker that brought to mind my dear brother-in-law, Engineer Matt (UNC fan), in North Carolina...

 

Proceeding on down the California coast...

 

       

 

The Bixby Bridge, at Bixby Creek. This is a point that has figured prominently in my thoughts going back to my teenage years...

       

 

   

 

 

 

Proceeding on...

       

 

       

 

 

At the Los Padres National Forest I watched a parachutist...

 

         

 

Elephant Seals... thousands of them, sleeping on the beach...

 

       

 

     

 

Passing Hearst Castle...

 

Proceeding on down the coast...

 

         

 

       

 

 

 

Guadalupe...

     

Proceeding southward, drawing closer to the Los Angeles area...

 

       

 

   

 

Sunset near Santa Barbara...

 

I put in for the evening north of Los Angeles, at Ventura...
