Day 70 Salt Point State Park, CA to King City, CA

Day 70 7/7/2015

We continued along Route 1 to Bodega Bay and Stinson Beach before crossing the Golden Gate Bridge a little before noon.

We decided that since we had already driven the entire Route 1 South of San Francisco, we would skip the slower coastal route and take 101 through the Salinas Valley.  Different scenery and excellent progress.

Our destination for today was the Regional Park in King City.  The park was a bit run down but the drought has hit this area hard and the main feature of this park was the Salinas River (now dry). 

The pond and turtles made Mary happy and we had a relaxing evening here.  (Note: I made the mistake of driving into the low covered side of a gas station yesterday and snapped off our TV antenna – was able to climb up top today and remove the broken head so it wouldn’t cause more damage.  I’ll replace it when I get home.)
