The WW day.
Today was the WW day—windy (blows a lot) and windy (lots of bends in the road). We left Larkspur and traveled 250+ miles on Highway 1. When we asked Kate, our English voice on our GPS, how long it would take to get to Garborville she said 4 hours. Well, she kept wanting to take us along Highway 101 and after numerous commands of “Turn around when possible” she finally figured that Highway 1 was the route we wanted to take. The ocean views were different today. Because of the wind, the waves were crashing like mad against the shore. We had to turn on our windshield wipers twice, not because of rain but because of spray from the water hitting us. It was very scenic along Hwy 1 with rounded green hills, sand dunes, 6% up and downgrades with numerous turns at 15 mph, and forested mountain passes. It was also very, very slow going for much of it. We were glad to see hwy 101 after 220 miles. Fortunately 101 is very scenic along this stretch too. Depending on the weather tomorrow, we hope to take a shorter drive into the redwoods and perhaps some hiking. Enough of these long, windy roads!
