I just got this crazy idea that I should spend the last two weeks of May driving to San Diego and back, and stopping to visit everyone I know along the way.
In my opinion, 1 between Monterey and San Simeon is windy as heck and thus much nicer to look at when someone else is driving. I guess I consider it a "rite of passage" thing; having done it once, I don't feel compelled to do it again.
Yeah, I can see that section being disliked by some people. I absolutely adore it, as both stunningly beautiful and really fun to drive.
HWY 1 north from Monterey to the Oregon border, however, is generally very nice. There are some sections with good windiness, but not as severe as south.
The first time I drove on Hwy 1 into Big Sur, I had to stop and pull the car over, I was so overwhelmed by the beauty of it all. Down into Morro Bay and Santa Barbara is lovely as well. It can be a little nervewracking, though, driving that road with bikes riding along side you. Having another driver does make it more enjoyable, in my opinion.
Dee, you should stop by my house. I have a present for you that I've been too lazy to mail.
