On the road to Northern California





Being in Los Angelos for just a little while has given me a new appreciation for Toronto. If you think the traffic and pollution are bad in Toronto, then go check out L.A.

Because of congestion and the expanse of the city, it takes a long time to get from place to place in the Los Angelos area.

We took HWY 1 north out of the city. First stop was Santa Barbara. Not bad. Santa Barbara is a place I'd like to return to. The highway going north follows the coast and offers beautiful vistas of the pacific. You drive on the side of cliffs.

yes, that is a spectacular road. did you get into all the winding? sometimes avalanches create road blocks. once we saw all these signs about road blocks and we saw the trucks passing loaded with rocks... but we also saw cars coming so we kept going. this went on for an hour. finally we got to the area where the rocks fell. completely impassible. then we turned around and became "one of those cars that had been going in the other direction."
