California 2012 itinerary
I created the above before we set off to the USA. Partly because of the unfortunate fatal accident suffered by Prospero (my tablet PC) - see ++++ - but mainly because California turned out to be much bigger than I thought, the only places on the list that we managed to visit were the last three.
San Francisco – Oakland Bay Bridge
The massive pillar behind which the sun is rising looked to me like a late addition but it is part of the original design. Cables-wise the structure is two separate suspension bridges and this pillar, called the Center Anchorage corresponds to the land side anchorages at either end.

I think these loops are a second line of defence against falling material.
Santa Cruz
Santa Cruz is a bit like Blackpool with palm trees. It was a Sunday and busy so we just drove straight through after seeing the recently created
roundabout - a very unusual feature in the US. See

Moss Landing
Jetty Road, Moss landing. We watched these people for at least half an hour trying to get these two horses into an horse box - they just would not go. The people were still trying when we left.
