Let me say right up front...I love the Monterey Peninsula and Carmel-By-The-Sea! Today was the third time we have experienced the 17 Mile Drive around the peninsula and each time just seems to get more special and more spectacular...if that's possible. We had absolutely gorgeous weather this morning with clear blue skies and cool, comfortable temperatures. I had a very difficult time selecting only five pictures to include here. I will post more on Facebook over the weekend. Notice in the first picture the deer in the middle of the fairway on one of the holes of the Spanish Bay golf course. The last picture is of the famous 18th hole at Pebble Beach. We drove up the PCH, or California 1, from San Luis Obispo to Carmel. This is perhaps the most spectacular drive anywhere...for a car...not for a 40' motorhome towing a car! I am glad that we did it...but, never again. The twisting, turning and very sharp switchbacks make it a rather stressful, challenging effort in a big rig. Plus, there are so many beautiful vista overlooks that just don't have room for a large motorhome so we missed many wonderful picture opportunities as well as the magnificent scenery. If you have never been to the Monterey Peninsula, you owe it to yourself to come out and experience this most beautiful expression of God's handiwork. If you have been here...it is just as special as you remember!
