Stretching from sunny Southern California to the foggy
forests of the Norths Lost Coast the renowned
Pacific Coast Highway travels through a spectacular, diverse
landscape, hundreds of years of human culture, and often, the
lack there of. Here is the essence of my coast, says June
Carey.
Californians hold a special reverence for this coastline
and its highway. Having come here in my youth, I always marveled
at the atmosphere of untamed wilderness, despite the millions
of visitors, each destined to get over to the water and
enjoy some peace and quiet. However, if you have ever,
for even one winter, relied on any section of this road as a
viable thoughfare, you will know that invariably parts of it
will rudely slither away into the hungry Pacific, leaving you
to find an alternative route. Thus it maintains its beauty and
respect. |
