Day 32- Felton CA
Today we are going to be traveling more along the coast, then crossing the Golden Gate Bridge, and head south of San Francisco to visit Jill and her husband Dustin. Gonna be another Great day!!!
Leaving the Wharfmaster Inn this morning-
Down in the cove programming our waypoints into the GPS while Mary was taking the last pics of Point Arena Cove.
One last look back as we head toward the 1 and south.
Back rolling on Highway 1...
...we're enjoying the views and road this morning! Along with the lack of traffic...we know as we get closer to San Fran, it's going to be a bit of a bugger to get thru it all and down to Jill & Dustins'.
Pulled over to get a few shots looking back at the scenic coast we just rode by-
Back rolling. The coastal views today...
...are interspersed with riding thru wooded areas. All stunning!
Mile after mile of fantastic coastline views!
Pulled over for some more pics-
Back rolling...
...oops, had to stop again. So many great views everywhere!
Ok, back rolling again...
...taking a little detour...
...down a small "road"...
...to see what there was to see-
Headed back up to the asphalt!
Back on the asphalt...
Not sure how/what Mary did to get this pic as we were riding. lol
The views today are absolutely fantastic...
...we're still well north of San Francisco, there is little traffic, and we're taking our time, appreciating...
...the curving road and all the views!
As you can see from this pic, the road is just as much fun as the views are stunning.
A look back-
Another look back-
We pulled off the road here...
...had a little snack...
...looked down the edge of the cliff...
...and took a selfie before getting back on the road.
We're getting close to where we're going to start seeing traffic...
...but there's still a bit of fun road to travel...
...before getting to San Fran traffic.
Pretty steep curve, that more than a few trucks/trailers have dragged in.
Ok, here we go...
...couple more coastline views...
...before turning inland toward San Fran.
Ok, for real this time.
I'm skipping pics of traffic and high heat. It was bumper to bumper for more than a bit. Here it has lightened up quite a lot as we are 18 minutes out from the Golden Gate Bridge.
Almost there-
Before crossing the bridge we...
...find a place to park with a view.
We figure this will be a good place to eat lunch and take in the view of the city and Golden Gate Bridge...
Amazing view...
...and we asked someone to take our pic.
Time to get back on the road...
..embrace the traffic....
...and ride across the bridge.
It's really quite large!
In the middle-
Condensing 1 hour of bumper to bumper traffic, getting thru San Fran & suburbs, back onto the coastal Highway 1, into this one pic-
We're back on the coast...
...heading toward Davenport, where we'll turn inland a bit to get to Felton.
This is a LOOONG tunnel....
...out the other side...
...mile after mile of beautiful coastline.
At Davenport we turn east and wind our way...
...thru 30 minutes of hilly, twisty Redwoods...
...until we dump out into the small town of Felton, CA., which also appears to be another home of BIGFOOT. lol
A few minutes later we arrive at Cotillion Gardens, where Jill & Dustin live-
They live in a 35 foot travel trailer here, right in the middle of the Redwoods. We are fortunate to be able to rent this little cabin, only 50 yards away from them.
We'll be here visiting for the next 2 days before resuming our travels, 3 days from now.
