It was nice to see Pfeiffer Canyon back open even the bridge design is a little bland. That project was really rushed and it only was delayed for a short time over the original early October opening projection. I just wish that I had time to go all the way down to Gorda when I saw the new bridge a week after opening.
The Muir Woods-Stinson Beach section of 1 kind of vexes me. The Panoramic Highway always seemed like was the better aligned roadway up in the hills than the coastal route ever was. Really it wasn't much of a detour back in February, I would speculate Panoramic was actually the faster route.
I didn't know Great Highway was in that much trouble from erosion. Makes me glad that I actually got some pictures this year before some of those closures start to take effect. Too bad, it was part of my route that I took to get into downtown without having to use a major route like I-280 or US 101.
Interesting that there is actually an effort to preserve the Piedras Blancas Motel. I thought for sure the site was doomed with the realignment inland for 1. Recently when I drove by there was a SLO County Sheriff Car parked there to deter vandals from approaching the buildings.
In regards to my own road blogs, I'm debating whether or not to try to do the rest of the 2017 travels or not. If I end up actually doing so, it will obviously include a ton of California Highways of all varieties. I'm finding that it is much easier to gather my thoughts more or less in the moment than it is in retrospect. So I'll see, I imagine the typical winter boredom will set in and I'll get motivated to do it.
