Mark,

There are always mud slides on the coast highway.  ;-)  One year, when I 
still lived out there, we decided to take Hwy 1 late in the day on a trip to 
SF, what a mistake... It became a foggy night and driving on that road at 
night in the fog is a real experience Never to be repeated.

I got married  in Portland Oregon Sun, Apr 2, 1978 and the next day we set
off with a brick of Kodachrome 25 and a brick of Panatomic 32 to photograph
Highway 1 both of us orignal from the Midwest. As a marriages present I got
a Nikon FM and a 24mm 2.8.

As you see it covers most the state of california where I'd never been
before being new to the west coast. It was well worth it.
They said "don't go there are mud slides becaue of the rains" but we went
anyway. In a 1964 Renault Caravelle which had been on blocks for a decade or
so.
