I didn't make it past Morro Bay because of the slide at Big Sur and time constraints. We usually take Hiway 1 up into Oregon.

Thanks for the locations!
We tried to go down the Coast Highway from Monterrey in January and it was closed back then. Good thing we didn't try to wait for it...

I talked to a local at Morrow Bay and was told it would be another year before the road would be open through Big Sur.
