Big Sur Adventure: Hwy 1 closed
"Hwy-1 closures: Big Sur bridge failures taking a toll on tourism." The extra 3 hour detour over a mountain pass was 1000% worth it. Roaming around such a beautiful tourist destination with nobody in sight, not a car in sight, no markets/stores open, no cell service, one gas station at $7 a gallon, and perfect weather-made for an incredible excursion.
