April 2009 Trip to Carmel, CA - 17 Mile Drive

17 Mile Drive

I would say spending the $12.00 or so to take the trip along the 17 mile drive is worth the effort.

Cool looking bird.

That tree out in the forefront is one of the oldest trees of that type around.  It is supported with guy wires.

I'll bet I could get an interesting bowl or two out of it.

Unfortunately, we missed visiting hours.  This looks like a nice lighthouse.

Beureagard Vineyards

We thought this was home to Bonny Doon Vineyards but it wasn't.

I am still not exactly sure how this became Beauregard Vineyards and apparently most of the wine produced
here is not sold in stores.  These folks must have $$.

Some scenes surrounding the vineyard.  Ever had a neuroma?  I got one on my left foot and it only felt better while
walking around or totally off my feet.  Not fun.  Feels like half a golf ball under my foot.
