Education Ride 365: By Land, Air, & Sea In Cali!



After four nights in temperate Soquel CA and a ride today over the Sierras---through the 7000-foot Donner Pass---I just arrived in Reno NV.  It is Day 186.  Soquel is just south of Santa Cruz, toward the northern end of Monterey Bay.  It is a wonderfully beautiful part of the country.  One of the most spectacular I've visited during the 29,000 miles covered thus far on 'Education Ride 365!'  Over the coming days I'll highlight some of the fantastic routes I rode in the area, plus share a few pictures from them.  If you ever have a chance to visit this area...do it!



I really enjoyed the beaches around the city of Monterey.  The city itself is spectacular too.



While I was busy checking out the area, some of the local fauna were busy checking out the 'Cycle of Education!'



On land, by air...



...even from in the sea!



In these two pictures you can see two elephant seals, one near the water and one on a rock above!  The one closer to the water seemed particularly interested in what I was up to!



It is amazing how similar they look to the rocks they lounge on.  Notice the group below...including a greyish one to the left of the photo.



Can you pick out the elephant seal in the photo below?



My pics from this beach on the Monterey Peninsula weren't my best and certainly didn't capture the beauty of the place.  It was gray and cool outside, but the place really warmed my heart.



I hated to fly from this location as night fell on Day 183!  It was not, however, the last of my explorations of the area.  More in the next few posts.
