Bill, Fun, though you missed out in Salinas. There's an amazing, totally divey Mexican food restaurant with the BEST chips, perfectly salty and oily! Next time. And, yes, the elephant seals are stunning down by Bill's big house on the hill. The house is pretty fascinating, too, with some lovely marble! I have driven down the road from Carmel quite a few times and always worry when I see bikers; too many people looking at the scenery. Glad you made it safe and sound.

Love this tale, Bill! I road-tripped it a few years back with my sister-outlaw and we wine-tasted our way through the Santa Ynez area—without wildfire smoke, thankfully. It looks like perfect bike-wine touring terrain. Great photos too!
