Chuck-a-Nut Hwy

[Big Daddy]

The wife and I took a drive down the Chuck-a-Nut Highway today. We drove the
I-5 to the Hwy 11 turn off and stopped at a Zen Garden and Japanese gift shop. We than continued down the coast on the Highway. It was beautiful, sunny and totally enjoyable. Driving back we stopped at numerous shops and than went to Bellevue and enjoyed a dinner at McCormick & Schmicks Seafood. A great day and great drive!

Parked at the Zen Garden:

Looks like a fun road Dan. Nice view also - thats a bloody great big sound!

P.S. I always love scenic pics from overseas that show off the local flora - so different to what I'm used to. I spend a lot of time in the countryside for my job and alot of that is in the woods (I think that's what you call it - we call it "the bush").

IT's that time of year around here to go on a fall colour's tour. Those pics look alot like the northern part of Ontario. Really beautiful. Unfortunately I'll be putting the cab back in storage in about a month.

Looks like a heck of a drive -- certainly great for a convertible.

Reminds me of that old VW commercial with the Clannad music:

That boulder-hugging tree is also quite a sight.
