Rear View Mirror – Hwy 1 and Gas Problems

Wow! All I can say is wow!

But I am me, so I’m gonna lie to you and say more.

Besides what I stated about 5000 lb. backsides, dancing and seals, the road is a must-drive. Although smaller vehicles recommended, I loved the opportunity. The Santa Cruz RV place guy said it is worth every bit of 4 hours and 35 mph.

The catch. Make sure you have enough gas. We were getting low and there are few places. SEE photo. Also notice the price. Captive audience… supply and demand! I’m a capitalist so more power to them.

By the way, running behind, we end up taking the final Hearst tour of the day (evening tour) which was exquisite. Yeah, I said it. With a lisp. And a pinky-cocked wrist. And it also was worth it.

Not much has changed there since 1988. We did enjoy the evening tour and live role-players. SEE gallery above. Who woulda thunk it… LARPers at the Hearst Mansion. (again, ask a geek next to you)
