Cambria CA To Westminster CA

A long day.

Wake up in Cambria and set down in Westminster (Huntington Beach). I'll have to check the GPS stats - it shows a 400 mile day but I don't think I was out for 400 miles. Checking via the map software - yep 400 miles.

Cambria to the Santa Monica mountains was a thru shot. A lunch stop, in I think Lompoc, I listened to some hanger flying at a Subway - always fun.

The closer to LA I progressed the more congested the traffic became. Down at the Santa Monica Mountains I took a left and headed up for some hills.  With darkness I headed down and went in search of the Santa Monica hostel. That found I decided to keep moving. It was recommended by the folks in Cambria but it was an urban setting and I was unsure as to parking.

Processing south through L.A. at night was perhaps a good thing - less traffic - and some nice city lights. I took a peek at Huntington Beach but moved inland a bit and grabbed a hotel. Long Day Done.

This little car blew by me - out on the empty roads




Always a fun sign

Some sort of traffic holdup...




Ahhhh - the reason just rounded the corner - and tucked behind cover of the car carrier - with a camera truck following.
Perhaps some new car getting a commercial shot.










Near the Santa Barbara mountains - heading up into some twisty hill roads







Another - "which is better picture" - without the road (this pic) or with the road (next pic)







Sunset, hills, curves - nice place California is
