Here is a drone's view of a section of California's Pacific Coast Highway, after it slid into the ocean.
I think it was 1974 my Dad took us on a cross country road trip pulling a camping trailer.
We had a month, and three drivers, a total of 7 people. We tried to drive at night as much as possible so that we would have more sight-seeing time during the day. We did manage to see quite a few sights.
We drove the Pacific Coast Highway (a two lane, two way road) along cliffs, and precipices, for I don't know how many miles, with sensational views of the Pacific ocean.
We traveled that road in a Southward direction, which means that we were on the Ocean Side of the road, hugging the cliffs. Thankfully, my Dad was the driver during that stretch of the trip! As we were heading South, another car heading North sideswiped us! Again... Thank God my Dad decided to take the crash, rather than turn to avoid it and go over the cliffs!
I don't know what would have happened if it was me or my sister driving.
During the Summer of 1999, I took my family on a cross country trip in a Class A motorhome. I did 98% of the driving. We drove North on the Pacific Coast Highway. This way we hugged the mountains, NOT the CLIFFS!
We stopped for lunch at the restaurant that over-looks the Big Sur.
The above linked drone video is of the Pacific Coast Highway about 15 miles South of the Big Sur.
