As I drove up the California Highway 1 today, I decided to stop and take some photos of the Bixby Bridge. The Bixby creek bridge was opened in 1932. It is one of the tallest single-span concrete arch bridges in the world. It is located in Monterey County and is part of the California State Highway System. There are nice views both of the bridge and of the area because of it’s location on the Pacific Coast Highway.

Elephant Seals Near San Simeon
As I drove up California Highway 1, I stopped off at a beach near San Simeon to check out some elephant seals. Being that I’ve never seen elephant seals before, I didn’t know what to expect. First off they are very dramatic. They are always making noise and getting into fights where it looks like they are trying to either bite or get the higher ground on their competition. Second, they are not very graceful on land. They move along and look like a slug. It’s funny because you can see all of their fat jiggle when they move. Third, I guess they get the name “elephant seal” because of the funny shaped nose they have that kind of resembles a trunk. Here are my photos from this interesting experience.
