Drove to Rio Del Mar SB again. We started heading out on Hwy 17 but traffic forced us to turn back and take the back roads – my favorite back road, actually. I finally got to drive McKean road in daylight with little traffic (or a marathon) to interfere and it was the enjoyable drive I knew it would be! Great sweepers, majestic views, great visibility and lots of turns and little elevation change.

The clouds on an otherwise sunny day were thanks to CDPR who removed the fire rings sometime in the last two weeks, effectively cancelling our cook out. For future reference, beach fire season ends just before Thanksgiving.
