17-Mile Drive

The 17-Mile Drive is a toll sightseeing road between Monterey and Carmel in California. The other day, I couldn't get there because I got lost. This time, I had a strong gadget; GPS. Thanks to this blessing of civilization, I could get there successfully!

It was a one and a half hour drive from my apartment to one of the entrances of the 17-Mile Drive. At the entrance, I paid $9 and got a route map. I drove along the numbers on the map.





At first I stopped at the beach area through the pine tree road. I was able to smell the full, salty scent after a long time. It was a bitterly cold day, but I watched the waves for a long time without feeling bored.












After that, I drove along the ocean road, stopping to see the beautiful shoreline and rocks.

Then I got to the Pebble Beach Golf Club. I could see the golf course adjacent to the sea. I am a bad golfer but I wanted to play this course. If I had played there, I would have felt great, regardless of my score!












Finally I got to the entrance. This ocean-road drive made me feel really good. I set the destination of the GPS to my apartment and went back home without getting lost.
