Found a site that shows where the PCH is still blocked by landslides.
I am traveling next week.
San Francisco- Monterey Bay -San Simeon -Santa Barbara.
Then back up.

Could anyone with local knowledge please explain to me where the blockages are.
I have tried to work it out but can't seem to get my act together in working out where in the route the problems are.(maybe too excited)
Many thanks Andy.

Bugger. Been trying to do this for 3 years. Hotels are booked with SF as start and Finish. Wanted to do a nice leisurely trip down and back. Got 3 nights SF. 3 night Monterey bay with whale watching. San Simeon and hurst castle 1 night. 2 nights Santa Barbara and then back up with a stop off on the way.
Do you think that is possible with diversions now or is it all gone to hell 🤣
Many many thanks for your help, Andy

Bloody hell. You absolute star. Thanks so much for your time and effort.

The link for the road closures you gave, I can actually understand that one.

I will spend the next few days checking it all out, but I think by the sound of your suggestions sound pretty damn good to me.

Once thanks again. for lal your suggestions and help.

PH at it's finest.

Many thanks again, During our stop at Monterey, we will drive down as far as we can pn PCH, just so we've done as much as we can. Turn round and double back.
Planing doing the Carmel scenic trip, toll rd, if it's worth it.

Will take your advise about going over Carmel valley and around the lake. drop down on to the 46 and head up to San Simeon.

Don't thing we will be speeding,Thanks for the warning anyway.
As it's meant to be a nice chilling holiday, just cruising and stopping wherever and watch the world go by, whether that be on the coast or nice little place to stop for coffee.

You are star.

Thanks for the parking and all the other tips.
Will be trying not to use the chains for food if we can.

Planed a route south. Original route to Monterey.

G16 out of Carmel. all the way to 101

South to King city.

Off on G14 to Lockwood,Bee Rock and Lake Nacimiento.

Then to Adelaida through vinyard drive to pick up the 46 and on to San Simeon.

Then carry on with original and the sighseeing on the way to Santa Barbara

Back North. Santa Barbara 154/101/1 Atascadero onto the 41

Pick up 101 to Greenfield Then G16 back to Monterey.

Seems like an ok route to me.
Back might be slightly altered to make it more interesting drpending on drive time.

Once again many many thanks. You have made it really easy for me.

Andy
