This is as far as I could go. The torrential rains in early to mid-February 2017 caused major damage to Big Sur and areas up and down the coast of Highway 1. Numerous mudslides, downed trees, rockslides, road washouts and a major collapse of the Pfeiffer Bridge prompted me to change my plans of driving the beautiful Highway 1 stretch from Monterey to Hearst Castle.

Although my plans were altered, the segment I was able to travel whetted my appetite to return some day to complete the journey.
