We packed our bags, loaded our bikes and made a quick getaway Tuesday morning, escaping the smoke filled Oregon skies and daily thumping overhead as the new roof project continues back home. Our destination? Monterey, California where the only things cooler than coastal temps are competing restaurant signs.

You were so smart to leave. The last two days have brought in so much smoke that OSF cancelled outdoor performances. Enjoy the cool, clean air and the competing restaurant signs. What a great blog!

Thanks Pam. I guess we better enjoy this while we can! No telling telling when the smoke will clear! Ugh!!!

Excellent idea. Having just returned from a week’s drive along our coast and another week cycling along the Columbia River, I’d be inclined to follow your lead. Love the Monterrey area.

Great idea. The weekend and Monday have unhealthy levels of smoke in the forecast. So many nice places to ride – our favorite routes are Marina SB to Monterey, around 17-mile Drive, Pacific Grove, Pt. Lobos.

We rode from our Cannery Row hotel out to Pebble Beach. Not bad for my first ride of any distance in years! Sue

Did you get a chance to wander around the Monterey Bay Aquarium?

Not this trip…although we’ve been a few times back when the kids were young. We stuck with the outdoor sights this time.
