Years ago I drove from Los Angeles to San Franciso along the coast road.
It was wonderful!! We were in a rented Ford LTD which was far from
wonderful!
Someone suggested taking a detour along the old road which went inland
before an arch bridge was built over an inlet in the 1930s. This turned
out to be no more than a dust track for many miles which tested to Ford's
appalling suspension to the limits. I remember that there was a great
view down to the bridge.
Does anyone else know of this track, or has it now been blocked off? If
it's still there, I highly recommend driving it, but a 4x4 would be
advisable!
BTW. An authentic British pub in California? Umm, the only ones I found
served CHILLED bitter. Yuck! Come to England and I'll show you some great
drives and great pubs. ;-)
