Ahh yes… Bixby Bridge: Built in 1932 during the depression, its location along the coastline was chosen because it was cheaper to build a large concrete bridge over natural geography than to go inland and blast\/construct one through the mountainside. Because of this, the unique architecture combined with beautiful surroundings makes this one of the most photographed<\/a> bridges in America.<\/p>\n

This also happens to be one of the most congested driving areas along Big Sur. Be prepared to stop and wait for people vying for a parking spot (if you are passing through) or be one of those people looking for a place to park. <\/p>\n

And once parked, work your way through the crowds of people all trying to figure out the best spot to photograph a selfie. While walking around, I’m pretty sure that I heard “the better shot is over there” in every language and foreign accent on the earth.<\/p>\n

The views aren’t always spectacular… we only managed to take a few foggy white photos while passing through. However, the entertainment was great. It included rabbits, guitars, and an interesting character wearing a rabbit on his head while playing\/singing John Lennon tunes. He had lots of stories about fog, guitar strings, pregnant rabbits, and one about a lady who makes great sandwiches.<\/p>\n
