Saw a teardrop on CA hwy 1 today...

Postby DragonFire » Fri Dec 09, 2011 11:30 pm

I was headed to Carmel CA this afternoon when we passed a white tear with red fenders headed south on hwy 1 in Seaside CA..was it anyone here? TV was a small truck with front end damage. The tear looked great!

I would settle for seeing ANYTHING on CA-1 because that would mean I was ON CA-1.

It was a nice looking tear..was a bit surprised to see the front of the truck so messed up, but maybe they are on a trip and were just in that accident.

I wish I could have gotten a picture but we passed it going a bit fast....

Isn't most of the PCH speed limit 25 to 45? If they were both going 45.... they passed at 90 :lol:

Come to think of it around Carmel, PCH is pretty open, not too windy. :thinking:

I had the wonderful experience of driving from Santa Barbara to Cresent City on Hwy 1 back in May. Wow, I was never so tired of switch-backs, but that sure was some beautiful scenery :thumbsup:

But Verna, HWY 1 ends at Leggett, CA. That's where you most likely got onto the 101 and continued on to Crescent City. I bet you didn't even wave at Dean & Jonnie as you went through Eureka. ;)

Gage, I wish I had known about this group back in May!!!! I spent over a week traveling in beautiful CA. I know at times I was on Hwy 1, then on 101, and even I-5 at one time. Hey, I just kept heading north!!!! I spent a lot of time watching the waves in the Pacific. Gorgeous sight!!!

I finally took 199 over to I-5 and headed up thru Oregon and then spent 3 days in Seattle.

It was a wonderful trip and I would definitely take it again.....but I would start in June, not in mid-May since it was just a bit cool for me.

Oh yeah, it definitely was my last tent camping trip--thank goodness for the space heater.

We were in Seaside..north of Monterey..road is still basically a freeway. I have no idea what the speed limit was.. I wasn't driving but I know we were doing 80-85.

So we are headed back in a bit and want to head up 5 from Santa Nella..sounds like the fastest on a Sunday. Gotta check the iPhone map for that...

Actually Highway 1 continues to just below San Luis Obisbo where in merges with Highway 101 and then it separates and re-merges several times all the way down to at least Laguna Niguel....

Posted speed should have been 65MPH ( on 4 lane section) ... 55MPH for towing...

Lived in that area for almost 50 years...

Yeah, I figured it would be 65....I think we are headed back up 5 which should be 70. At 80mph we were passing trailers but moving with everyone else....

"5" is bizarre.... I have been towing on "5" and doing 65 (10 miles over "towing" limit) and been passed by big pickups towing huge travel/toybox trailers....
