Entry:
Woke up to a gorgeous day, went for a run on the beach, while I was running the fog rolled in. Headed down highway one.

Decided to pay for the 17 mile scenic drive at Pebble Beach. It was pleasant, sometimes a bit crowded.

About 40 miles South of Big Sur (past Lucia), 1 was closed down, so I had to backtrack about 70 miles to Monterey to get the 101. Drove later than usual so that I could make at least some progress. Set up camp in the dark with a slight drizzle.
