ROUTE 1 STRAYED A BIT FROM THE EDGE, SO I TOOK A SMALL DETOUR AND HEADED BACK TO THE SHORE. 
THE ROAD TO THIS BEACH BECAME A "SANDBOX" AND THE BIKE WANTED TO LAY DOWN AND REST.
IT DIDN'T, THOUGH.



THIS WAS PART OF THAT SAME BEACH. THE AREA WAS ROPED AND FENCED OFF SO THAT THE BIRDS COULD
NEST IN PEACE. IT JUST STRUCK ME AS BEING SO ALIEN IN NATURE. NASA DID NOT TAKE THIS PHOTO.


AS MOST FISHERMEN LOOK, SO LOOKS THIS FELLOW.
IT CAN ONLY BE DESCRIBED AS BEING "DEJECTED ANTICIPATION"


I PUT THE NICKEL DOWN IN THE SAND TO GIVE SOME PERSPECTIVE TO THE SIZE OF THE EXOSKELETONS THAT
DOTTED THIS BEACH. THERE CAN'T BE MUCH OF A POPULATION LEFT, BASED ON THE NUMBERS OF SHELLS
THAT DOTTED ALMOST EVERY INCH OF THIS BEACH.


ROUT 1 HAS SOME OF THE MOST VIABLE LAND FOR FARMING THAT I HAVE EVER SEEN. THOUSANDS OF ACRES OF
LETTUCE, THEN THOUSANDS OF ACRES OF ARTICHOKES, AND AN EQUALLY IMPRESSIVE THOUSANDS OF ACRES OF
STRAWBERRIES CAN BE SEEN FOR MILES ALONG ROUTE 1. THERE CAN'T BE ANY WORK FORCE LEFT IN OUR
NEIGHBORING COUNTRY TO THE SOUTH.


WILSON AND I SOMEWHERE NORTH OF SAN LUIS OBISPO AND SOUTH OF CARMEL. THIS STRETCH OF ROUTE 1
IS THE MOST CHALLENGING HIGHWAY I HAVE BEEN ON TO DATE, IN TERMS CURVILINEAR LAYOUT.


WHERE'S WALDO (THE SEA LION)?
