Drove from Monterrey down to Hearst Castle (which is also well worth a visit). Gas was expensive in Monterrey so we thought we’d get something down the road cheaper. We had no idea how rugged this stretch of road becomes. It’s mountains on your left and ocean on your right. Finally came across a gas station and it was CLOSED for repairs. Almost ran out of gas on Highway 1. That would not be fun. But, Big Sur was one of the most beautiful places I have ever been. Sooo worth a visit.
