We got up early and hit the road hoping that the wind would start later in the day.   The night before we found out that the high winds were going last for several days.  With that forecast it put a damper on our plan to go to Big Sur.  Big Sur is on hwy 1 and the road is not very wide and just as curvy as the northern hwy 1.  So we felt it wasn’t prudent to try to attack that road in high winds.  We are basically driving a big sail. So we headed for Monterey bay.  Once we got there both of us were kind of surprised at how ordinary the town was. I pictured a beautiful city and coastline but it wasn’t that at all.  Maybe we missed the beautiful part of the coast.  Anyway we located an RV park not far from town and with the winds still strong we settled down early for the day.
