Bixby bridge

To Rob: I don't think I ever answered if the Golden Gate is as lovely as the Clifton suspension bridge... I still don't really have an answer, "they're just so different". Instead, I have a new favourite. The Bixby bridge, north of Big Sur, built in the 1930s (by prisoners wanting to shorten their sentences, as the rest of Highway 1 I think). Before it was built you had to take a 14 mile detour inland. (That detour is still open, but you need a car that is "comfortable off-road".) Bridges are cool.
