Raincheck On A Roadtrip

As jammed packed as my trip to California this time around, I had really hoped that I would be able to go off on my own to see the James Dean Memorial, after seeing Hearst Castle with my cousins.

Unfortunately, it was an hour out drive from San Simeon, which means there and back would be two hours and then add the time to drive up Highway 1 to Monterey. (another 2+ hours) and we had already drove 3.5 hours from San Leandro down to San Simeon.

That’s a lot of driving.

And as disappointed as I was, I knew I had overshot in my estimation, not only in time but energy levels, of what it would take to include this side trip. Argh.

*Shakes fists to sky*

Big Sur. 17 mile drive. James Dean Memorial Site, including the crash site, Blackwell’s Corner and the Jack Ranch Cafe.

Just another reason I’ll have to go back to California.
