Morning Commute

I’ve had some pretty cool commutes to work over the years, the best was probably the drive from my place by the beach in Pacific Grove, CA (by Monterey) up to Carmel Valley via Hwy 68, which paralleled 17 Mile Drive, which rolls right by Pebble Beach.

Sometimes I’d take the drive in my little sports car with the top down and it was the kind of adventure that tourists drove thousands of miles to experience, and I could do it whenever I felt like it, on my way to work.

But I digress… That commute was twenty to thirty miles, depending on the route, and now my commute is 2.3 miles from my garage to the base. It’s still dark at 0710 when I leave and I rarely encounter other vehicles, except maybe a Start Bus leaving the base roaring down 5th Street throwing dust in my face. Come on, ride along!
