Is That So?
Del Monte Lodge, Pebble
Beach, Calif. "If someone were
to step up and say: 'Look, Mis
ter, you've only got one more
short drive to make in your life
time. Any place in the wide
world.' For sheer beauty, which
would you choose?"
That was the proposition put
to a group of world-wide travel
ers last nieht. As you might
know, the answers were many.
Here are some:
"I'd head for the Columbia
river highway the old road,
from the Vista House to The
Dalles, and make it in spring so's
to get the apple orchards in
bloom along Hood River."
"Me for Hawaii. Take the
road past Koko Head, the Blow
hole, and back by way of the
Pali stopping there for my last
look; either by moonlight or by
early morning light so's I'd get
the full color of the water off
the reefs." ,
"Nothing can surpass the road
from Colombo to Kandy, Cey
lon, past elephants dragging
logs, monkeys in trees, beauti
ful gardens . . ."
"Up the Fraser in British .Co
lumbia and across to Jasper . .
"Well, I'd make mine in Ta
hiti, the drive around the is
land. Tropical flowers."
"I'd just want to sit it out
alongside the Grand Tetons re
flected in Jackson Lake . . ."
"What about the south (rim of
the Grand Canyon, particularly
when a thunderstorm, with
lightning flashing, is pulling
through below you."
"Franconia Notch, New Hamp
shire, when autumn foliage is in
full glory . . . Nikko Park, Ja
pan, in cherry blosson time . . .
Chuchanut drive when the sun
is setting behind the San Juan
islands . . . the Palisades along

the Hudson . . . Amalfi-drive in
Italy . . . Island of Capri ... up
Mount Victoria, Hongkong by
twilight . . .
But because we are in Pebble
Beach, 120 miles south of San
Francisco, the topic kept com
ing back to our own 17 mile
drive from Pacific Grove, along
the oceanside, to Carmel and
down Big Sur-way to San Luis
Obispo.
Death Valley Drive
And surely, each reader could
aad a spectacular drive of his
own such as the looping road
between Moscow and Lewiston,
Ida., or the desolate magnifi
cence of the Death Valley drive.
But mainly, I think these favor
ite drives would contain ingred
ients such as these: mountains
or cliffs mixed with ocean or
mountain lakes. In short, land
and water making a dramatic
connection, backed up with
plenty of trees and if game is
added, so much the better.
Of these requirements, this 17-
mile drive which hugs the ocean-
side of Monterey peninsula has
them in abundance. Care to take
a spin with Samuel F. B. Morse,
member of the dot-an-dash clan,
who knows just about every
square inch of this territory. And
why shouldn't he? He owns most
of it and has lived here "the bet
ter part of my life, and I'm going
on 72."
As we drive, he points out the
startling white sand: "It couldn't
be any whiter, could it? unless
you made the water off there a
darker blue and that's impos
sible because it is already
purple, except where it creams
up on the wet sand, and there
I offshore in the reef, see, it's
j green ..."
! Many Photographs
' As we drive past a point with
a lone, twisted, gnarled old cy
press silhouetted, lit laysr "That .
tree has been photographed and '
painted by more people than
even that famous canal in Ven
ice. Beautiful tree, .. isn't it?
Painted picture of it myself,
too." i
Past a hundred or so barking
sea lions, basking in the sun on
an island 100 yards offshore, he
says: "Here, you take the glasses.
That old bull there, I'd say j
would go right around 3,000 1
pounds. Lots of solid meat un
der his hide." Morse should
know: he used to run cattle.
"We're lucky," he says, and
points offshore where a grey
whale is spouting. "They are on
their way south now, to Baja,
California. Warm lagoon there,
ideal for calving . . ."
A herd of deer, great twisted
pines, California poppies, water
dashing wildly against rocks,
white sands, seaweed, sea otters,
sardines, cormorants, cypresses,
pelicans, tiger sharks, Monarch
butterflies . . . and an incred
ibly beautiful stretch of rugged
shoreline with not one piece of
advertising, not one building to
disturb the view . . . and, he
says, "I've turned down $50,000
for a shoreside acre turned it
down because this is one stretch
of our 1,100 miles of gorgeous
west coastline which must re
main completely unspoiled and
kept that way forever."
