DEVIL'S SLIDE TRAIL

A PIECE OF HISTORY
on display

As you head north on Hwy 1, you'll pass through Moss Beach and Monterra and through the part of the road locals call "Devil's Slide".

There, you'll notice something that stands on top of the mountain, overlooking the ocean...it's not a statue, not a natural land formation!   So what is it? 

It's a WWII Gun Turret.  Several of these turrets were built along the California coast in this area to be o...

SONOMA WINE COUNTRY
Where do we go?

The town of Sonoma began with the building of Mission San Francisco Solano in 1823 by Father José Altimira of the Franciscan Order. This mission was the farthest north of all 21 California missions.  Soon after it was built, it was secularized by the Mexican government under the orders of Lieutenant, later General, Mariano Guadalupe Vallejo. He maintained good relationships with the Native Americans of the...

One of the things I really love at the Vineyard RV Park is all the beautiful flowers, trees and landscaping.  At Vineyard RV Park, they really have grape vines draped around the club house and they are laden with beautiful bunches of grapes this time of year.   The smell of Jasmine on the way to the laundry room makes even washing clothes a pleasant experience.   Watch the slide show and see what I'm talking about!

The 17 Mile Drive is certainly something you should take while you are visiting the Monterey Peninsula.  There are five entrance gates, however the one easiest to access from the Laguna Seca RV Park, is the Highway 1 Gate located on the intersection of Highway 1 and Highway 68 going west.  

(There's a slide show below of my favorite 17 Mile Drive photos)

There is a $9.50 fee to enter Pebble Beach.    An attendant wi...
