I seem to remember this kind of post Tour d’Elegance, post summer tourist, back to school roadwork as a regular thing. For me, it’s touching to see Highway 1 cared for. Though maybe through rose-colored glasses as I won’t likely be on it. Thanks for the update, as always, Kate the coastal angel, flying on patrol, guardian of the sacred roads.
