We left San
Fancisco early and drove our hire car across the Golden Gate Bridge.
At the other side of the Bridge was a vista point to look back, at
what was a very misty morning. We had hired a Chrysler Sebring car,
which was ideal for the two of us, and great when the hood was down!
We were two of the oldest swingers around! This picture shows the car
fairly clean. By the end of our trip and some 2,300 miles later, it
was covered in dust and the remains of dead insects.

From our viewpoint
we could see the layers of mist around the Bay and the sun trying to
burn off the fog.
|
|
The view just got
better and better.
|
|
As we looked back
towards San Francisco, the Golden Gate Bridge was shrouded in the mist.
|
|
Then we took Route
1, along a twisty, hilly and misty road, stopping for breakfast in a
good cafe and visiting the nearby beach.

There was a wall
of fog along the coast, whereas just a few hundred yards inland we
had bright sunshine. We noticed the many rocks along the shoreline,
which was a feature all the length of the coast.

As the day
progressed the sun began to burn off the mist. By the time we reached
Fort Bragg the sun was begining to win! But it was well past
lunchtime and we were only half way to our evening stopping point at Eureka.

We were glad to
get to Eureka, before the sun set.
