No, you wont! The Pacific Coast Highway is farther than 250 miles
from Half Moon Bay.

Go down 101 and Hollister has an air museum, and Watsonville
Airport may have a museum.

There's also one in San Carlos, exit at Ralston, just a bit beyond
our airport.

Ah, yes, that's the one I meant.

Pismo Beach (I think cars can drive on the sand, I haven't seen it,

I've done it, several times, in cars and on motorcycles.

interesting scenery

Be sure to take the "17-Mile Drive", a scenic road around the coast of
Monterey which has spectacular ocean views and numerous overlooks. Do
a Google to see some typical photos. You've got to pay a few bucks
toll as it's a private road owned by Pebble Beach Resorts (go to
pebblebeach.com and click the '17-Mile Drive' link at the bottom).

The south end of the 17-Mile Drive ends at the picturesque town of
Carmel, where you'll find a Spanish Mission, a nice public beach, some
interesting cottages in the "Storybook" style and a Frank Lloyd Wright
home overlooking the ocean, and just south of Carmel is Point Lobos
Park, where you'll find walking trails with dramatic ocean views. The
official site is http://pt-lobos.parks.state.ca.us/, but do a search
of Google Images to get a better idea of how it looks.

Further south, many photo oppportunites in the Big Sur area, such as
the Bixby Bridge http://www.mikelevin.com/BigSurBridge800.jpg, and
of course Hearst Castle.

No it is the Coast highway and it is 1. May not be the named "PCH" but it
is the Pacific Coast and it is Highway 1.

It seems to me I heard somewhere that DrDad wrote in article
. com:

I have the whole last weekend in February to drive from SF down to the
SD area. I'll have by brand new DSLR camera with me, so I'm looking
for suggestions of where to stop/stay enroute to find interesting
scenery and people to photograph. Cars and airplanes are also
favorite subjects, so please tell me of any interesting museums along
the way.

If your schedule and plans fit, consider Chino, roughly forty miles east
of downtown Los Angeles, with a large collection of planes (they claim
150) covering the history of flight. http://www.planesoffame.org/

Chino is less than ten miles from Interstate 15 which would take you on
to San Diego by an inland route.

It is certainly not! It's the Cabrillo Highway.

but it is the Pacific Coast and it is Highway 1.

True.

It is still the coast highway. 1 is addressed as the coast highway.

Actually, people in the Bay Area call it Highway 1.

However, your new wording is technically correct; it is a coast
highway. It is not the Pacific Coast Highway.

It is still the coast highway.

Indeed. Most of the way. Much nof it is a bit far from the actual
coast.

1 is addressed as the coast highway.

It is even the Pacific coast highway (or more grammatically, the
Pacific coastal highway). But it is not the Pacific Coast Highway
north of Goleta.

And who the hell but you refer to it as the Cabrillo highway, at least from
Monterey south?
