Reading the title thought about THIS-->

It's a great story, timely for Thanksgiving, but Arlo's Alice had her restaurant in Southbridge, MA.  Does anyone know if the one on the Skyline Drive existed in 1967?

A sensitive image but an important one. A friend of mine, who is an exceptionally talented photographer, once told me that every picture you take and want to share needs to be able to answer the question 'why; why did you take that picture?' This is one of those images that answers that question unequivocally.

I took a drive up through the mountains for lunch today, after my two appointments cancelled out. Lovely drive, beautiful chilly day, great time. I had the SL fitted with the Super-Elmar-R 15mm with me and decided to do one of my 'usual' snappies of my car in front of the restaurant at the top of the mountain:

Not earth shattering fine art, but fun stuff.  :)

 

For all of us less fortunates, that do not live in California, more about the Skyline Drive:  https://medium.com/gone/california-s-best-kept-secret-a-gorgeous-little-known-route-off-highway-1-70741161e69d#.oa41wm7kz

Actually, his path misses the upper end of Skyline between Hwy 92 and the restaurant, a truly beautiful piece of the ride. Skyline Blvd (State Hwy 35) ends at Hwy 17 but the road continues on past and wiggles down through the mountains, renamed to Summit Road and Sequel San Jose Road, ending up at Hwy 1 in Soquel (Santa Cruz County). That lower section, between Hwy 9 and 17, is the truly wiggly, tight section. 

 

There are many, many lovely little roads that provide great challenge to bicycles, motorbikes, and cars throughout these mountains. I've lived in this region since 1979 and have had the fun of exploring them all these years ... And I'm SURE I've not been on all of them yet. Which simply means there's a of fun and good rides to come as yet.  :D

Forgot to mention that they are obviously my parents. My dadn's not well and it probably won't be long.

Sorry to hear that and hope for the best - but I wanted to say that these are all beautiful pictures of beautiful people.

Correcting my error about a dozen posts back, the other Alice's Restaurant massacree takes place in Stockbridge, MA, not Southbridge.  And there is still an Alice's Restaurant in the area, but I don't know if it is the original.  The link to the western Alice's has some great pictures, and mentions an airport cafe at HalfMoon Bay which should be familiar to fans of "hundred dollar hamburger" expeditions to obscure airports.  Half Moon Bay shouldn't be obscure.  At one time it was a reliever for SFO, since when one of them is fogged in, the other isn't and vice versa.  But an even better destination is Shelter Cove, with a seafood shack right at the end of the runway that says 30, at the water's edge.  The drive there is also awesome.  It's a bit north of Mendocino and the Russian River.

This gentlemen is a leather artisan, who has moved from painting to sculpture to photography to leather crafting, exhibiting tremendous talent in all media.  There will soon be a custom leather strap gracing my SL.  (SL +  24-90)

You don't have 8 x 10 colored, glossy pictures with the circles and arrows and a paragraph on the back of each one?  :D 

 

Pete.

No, but remember that on the record, all that effort and artwork was wasted when the judge appeared for the case accompanied by a seeing-eye dog.  It's clearly more satisfying to post in the forum.  Half Moon Bay is well covered in the article that was linked.  I've driven and flown into Shelter Cove, but didn't have a hand free for a camera.
