Pacific Coast Highway

These photos aren't the best (note the visible smudges on the windshield, fingers and glare) but show our day long encounter with the Pacific Coast Highway from San Simon area to Monterey Bay. Not pictured is the lovely beach in Carmel-by-the-sea that we stopped at which warned "never turn your back to the ocean" and "you are in a danger zone" (high waves have swept people out to sea there and left on diver dead). Also Not pictured are the tons of elephant seals that go to the coastal beaches to Molt and Mate. Currently the males are on the beaches molting a yearly process that takes about one month. This website of a non-profit seal protection group has more information on this. http://www.elephantseal.org/
