Chrome keeps telling me not to trust it, so I haven't actually clicked through. Really nice build though with custom "Dirty Harry" lettering across the hood.
Here are a couple shots of the aforementioned picnic spot.
This was about 200 yards from the southern dead end of HWY 1. We drove as far as they'd let us, and then turned around and parked. The view here was amazing and we hung out for about an hour. After that, we backtracked a few miles to the foot of Nac-Ferg "The Nasty" and hiked up a ways from the mouth of the Mill Creek Canyon.
After hanging out in the redwoods we climbed over the pass. For all the hype, this road was shorter than I expected. We've got some crazy back roads in California, and I can see why this one has a reputation, but it left me wanting more. The views were amazing, but we were on the freeway an hour and a half later and part of me wished I'd just turned around and went back down the Pacific Coast Highway again.
It exits through Fort Hunter Leggitt and that was another highlight of the trip. This is such beautiful country, it's no wonder that it's been so hotly contested.
