Mystery Spot and 17 Mile Drive




Its long weekend time. Memorial Day on Monday.

Paid a visit to the Mystery Spot. The American Way of making a C out of you. Thank my stars it was only $ 5.

17-Mile drive was better. Cold winds but really liked Pebble Beach and of course, the symbol of the 17 Mile Drive road, The Lone Cypress.

Went to the Big Basin Redwoods State Park.
