MoCalHere in Monterey, we look to be about in the middle of Cali so I'm not sure if it falls into the NorCal or SoCal category. I shall call it MoCal. MoCal is worthy of its own heading because here we are in Steinbeck country and John Steinbeck's Travels with Charley served as the initial inspiration for a tour around the USA. I wanted to reread it along the way, but Christian refused to carry "a library" around the country. Couldn't argue against that since I hadn't read a page by the time we reached Yosemite. We biked the "17-Mile Drive" - a scenic loop around the Monterey peninsula between Monterey and Carmel-by-the-Sea. It was glorious. Here is the lone Cypress tree: Gazing at the beach in Carmel from the shade of the Cypress trees.
