Highway 1 Guide

Did anyone see the missile/meteor off the central coast just south of Monterey today?

lolslavery asked:

We were driving north on 1 and just as the sun was setting there was like a really fast, bright light way up in the sky that traveled out toward the sea. It left a trail like an airplane but it was wayyy faster, like a comet or a shooting star. This must have been 10 miles out and as high as an airplane.

Then we saw about 10 emergency vehicles heading south on highway 1 from Monterey and PG.

Any idea what this could have been?

What would consume more petrol on the motorway/highway, a big engined car or a small engined car ?

Jay asked:

big engined car meaning greater than 3000cc
small engined car meaning less than 2000cc
I know a big engined car would use up more fuel doing urban driving, but how about on the motorways?
i was having an argument with a friend and he was saying a mercedes S500 would consume less petrol than like a VW golf 1.6 on a motorway. obviously i thought otherwise?

ash asked:

I have a BMW 328 with 175000. Over the past 1 year, I have noticed the city fuel economy to be 16, while the highway is 30. Previously, I was getting 22 for city, and 30 for highway. Any suggestions appreciated.

The height of the pile is always twice the radius of the base. Find the rate at which the volume of the pile is increasing at the instant the radius of the base is 5 inches

Scenic Drive Along the Coast of California

Administrator — Tue, 10 Apr 2007 19:49:46 +0000

This is a recent article from MSN’s homepage detaling the best scenic drives in the country. Our California coastal drive ranked number 3.

“California’s State Route 1 (aka Highway 1) skirts the Golden State’s glorious Pacific coastline from “So Cal” near San Luis Obispo northwest to the forests of Monterey. While the twists and curves, and occasional precariously-perched cliff-top road, may prove challenging at times (one section has been ominously dubbed Devil’s Slide thanks to landslides and erosion that have occasionally made the road impassable), the magnificent vistas of ocean waves breaking on rocky sea-sculpted shores, windswept beaches dotted by frolicking otters or sea lions, and magnificent forests presiding above it all can rouse even the wariest of drivers behind the wheel. Forays into charming little coastal towns, like Carmel-by-the-Sea and Laguna Beach, as well as into the trilogy of Californian cultural centers at Los Angeles, San Diego and San Francisco, are met by attractions ranging from historic missions to magnificent mansions (don’t miss San Simeon’s mountaintop Hearst Castle). There are also endless opportunities for outdoor recreation, particularly around the Big Sur area, where you can hike through redwood forests, comb the beaches for shells and jade, and camp under the stars.”

We have traveled this road a few times and can attest to its beauty. Other notable places to stop by: Avila Beach, Morro Bay, Cayucos and Cambria. Cambria, where the pines meet the sea, is one of our favorite places. Stroll around the quaint downtown and visit small local shops and eateries. We love Robin’s restaurant and dessert at Linn’s-the best berry pie this side of homemade. It’s an artist community and has a plethora of wonderful art galleries.

If you have time, from Morro Bay take Highway 41 over to Paso Robles for some wine tasting.

Have you ever taken road trips to locations where your favourite movies were shot?

Administrator — Sat, 14 Oct 2006 10:06:05 +0000

Pin-Up Doll asked:

So far, I’ve been to:
South Dakota to sites where “Dances With Wolves” was filmed.
Juliette, Georgia (”Fried Green Tomatoes”)
Mackinac Island (”Somewhere in Time”)
Southern Utah (”Thelma and Louise”)

I’d love to go to the town in Scotland where “Local Hero” was shot, as well as the movie “Bandits” which was filmed down Highway 1 from Oregon to L.A. Wherever “The Princess Bride” was filmed would be cool, too.

How about you? Anywhere you’ve gone or would like to go?
