Day Thirteen - 3208.6mi

Today was a transit day, with the general plan of getting from LA to somewhere around Laguna Seca, Monterey County. So I thought it would be interesting to follow James Dean's route as he left Hollywood to go racing at the same track.

Of course, he never made it to the track. He made it to this intersection, on an open highway where someone turned left in front of him to go on Hwy 41 as he came barrelling down Hwy 46. Hwy 1 reopened the day after I tried to go through the first time so I had to check it out. Look at the fire damaged park!
And I eventually made it to camp at Mount Madonna, overlooking the Salinas Valley. Nice spot, but the most money I've spent on overnight accommodations so far: $24!
