Coast Road – from Mexico to Canada, a Modern Marvel

Nick Sine sent me this, when he sent me notice that Rock Knocker’s former teacher/climbing boss and geologist for Caltrans passed on last week. He is featured in a few segments of the documentary. It is a wonderful documentary with old footage of building the road from Mexico to Canada. Of course the Coast Road in Central California is featured prominently. I must admit, I stopped watching at SF, so I can’t speak to the rest of it, but I sure loved Mexico to SF. It is a beautiful piece I had never seen before, and so I will share it with the rest of you, here. Enjoy, as I did. Thanks, Nick.

  • Oh those beautiful Big Sur arched bridges and their graceful arched railings that complement them ... and to think these rails may be demolished and replaced with walls of concrete or new modern metal railings if Caltrans has their way ... Just say NO to modernizing the Historic Big Sur bridge rails and YES to replacing them with their original design!!!
