Is this a public road?
No, it's a private road. It's owned by Pebble Beach Resorts (www.pebblebeach.com), which owns a huge amount of property in that area with golf courses and resorts. I think Clint Eastwood, who lives in nearby Carmel, is part owner of the company. Jim |

Next day I crossed Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana, and just into Texas. Next day I was *STILL* in Texas. Last day I left Texas, crossed New Mexico, Arizona, California (short way) to San Diego then north to Los Angeles. And to present the other half of the story, I was once visiting friends back east and had breakfast in Massachusetts, lunch in Connecticut, and dinner in New Jersey.

In many cases a rider could cross multiple counties (or eastern US states) in less time than it takes to cross Tx (or CA the long way). San Diego County in SoCal is bigger than Delaware and Rhode Island combined and almost as big as Connecticut. And SD is not the biggest county in California. -- Turby the Turbosurfer |

Yeah, my wife went to school in Wilmington and Newark, DE. She thought it was sort of adding insult to injury that when she made a wrong turn, she'd have to go by a sign that said, "Welcome to Pennsylvania" or "Welcome to Maryland." ;-) TK |

It's interesting the number of Europeans that don't realize how big some
western US states really are. For that matter, some NE US'ers don't grock how big the western US is. Then, on the other side of the coin, when I was back East, we'd get the occasional Texan who wanted to "see" New England in a day. To paraphrase Steven Wright, "It's a small world. But I wouldn't want to paint them in a day." |
