Up early for some kind of breakfast this place we stayed serves up. I, of course am in the rig. At least they moved it up front so we can see each other, big whoopee!
We are driving down highway 1 to Monterey, just so we can have lunch on the pier. Something about a shrimp cocktail, what ever that is, me just give me some good eats.
Why we went this way, I don’t know; I’m not to impressed, nice time for a snooze.
Sniff, sniff, can I have my window down please I need to check out what I’m smelling here. Yes, a little salt, some seaweed, YA HOO! I can see the ocean, and lots of sandy beach. This is going to be, SWEET!
Out of this rig I go! Hurry up guys; I gotta get to the water!
Not so fast there speedy, my people say. I have to stay in the car. No dogs in the restaurant. Good thing the wind is howling, and it’s down right cold here, otherwise I might have to take a bite out of one you guys. Just joking.

Back my people come and we are off to God knows wear! We pass what looks like a nice place for a Golden to play, Los Lobos State preserve. (What’s a preserve?) Nope no time to stop! My people want to get to someplace called Cambria. They keep talking about this being one of there favorite places, on the central Ca. coast. They are saying some stuff about a beach, Moonstone? How did stones from the Moon get here? I still don’t know to this day.

Woof! Woof! Woof! The scenery is fantastic! Redwood trees, Pinion Pines, shear cliffs down to the ocean. I think I could learn to like a place like this. Big Sur is what they keep saying. Are we talking about this place or some really big sir?
The road is twisty and switch backy(huh?) The views are spectacular!

We finally head down, out of the coastal foot hills, towards San Simeon with Cambria just a few miles further down the road, further.

Hey! You pinhead You just past up Cambria! Oh! It’s on to Harmony; Pop. 3?
This is my people’s favorite winery in this area. I’ll just go in and impress the pants off these strangers. “Sorry Max. If you were more sociable around other dogs, then yes, they would let you come in.”
“Doggie, world war 3 does not sound all that much fun. Sorry old pal.”
Man my reputation is shot! Oh, Well.

My people are back in a short while, with what is this? More stuff I have to share may space with! Are you kidding me! What, were going to are motel now? Good, I hope its close!

Not great, but its all-right; the place we are staying tonight.
No penthouse here. Playing with my treat ball will be accommodated very nicely.

Man! I am tired! Glad its quite here. See you guys in the morning.
