I remember crossing a bridge somewhere around Big Sur. I looked down and it had to be the most beautiful array of colors I have ever seen. I stream was entering a small bay where some algae had collected. The bight green algae, the turquoise seawater. I had to stop and snap a photo. I stopped for about 10 seconds. After 4 or 5 cars zooming by I decided I should move on. I never got my photo.
The good news is Devils Slide is now a bike path! I did it back in the day it was a road. Everyone warned me to catch a ride and don't ride that section of rode. I ignored the warnings. My biggest danger on that section? Me! I fell in some gravel on the shoulder. I came inches from tumbling down the hillside.
I grew up on the CA coast, and every time I go back there it seems busier. And with that steep coastline, there's basically 1 road where everybody goes. Very pretty tho.
