In my sophomore year at college my roommate Brian had an incredible stereo — JBL 100 speakers with orange grills, Dynaco Stereo 400 amp, TEAC reel-to-reel tape deck, and a Thorens turntable. I had a decent record collection, and the combination made for great music listening the entire year. There were lots of rich kids from Long Island in our 20 story dorm at Syracuse, but nobody had better sounding music than our room.

In my last post, I shared some of my favorite places to see in the Big Sur area. Now let’s move up north and explore the Monterey and Carmel area. If you’re driving down from San Francisco or the Peninsula you can take either 280 to 17 to 1 or drive down Highway One the entire way. The latter is longer, but of course, you’ll enjoy ocean views the entire way.
I didn’t know anybody when I moved out to Northern California after HP hired me, so I spent every weekend driving up and down the coast, exploring the incredible California coastline. I still drive up and down the coast and continue to be stunned by the incredibly diverse scenery this area has to offer. This is the first in a series of posts of some of my favorite places I’ve visited along the northern California coast.
