Message	1) Take the Pacific Grove exit and make a right. 2) Keep going and you will see a Fisherman's Wharf on the right side. As you pass the Wharf, veer right at the next stop light into the tunnel. 3) As you come out of the tunnel, take the next right branch. That is Lighthouse Ave, which later turns into Central Ave. 4) Keep going until you see Dewey Ave or 1st Street. Make a right onto either street and they will dump you onto Oceanview Blvd. 5) Make a left onto Oceanview and you will be on your way. Keep going around the peninsula until you start coming back inward. Oceanview turns into Sunset. 6) Follow the signs around and at the end of the drive, as the road starts taking you inland again, you may want to visit the 17 Mile Drive also. You will see the signs. That takes you by Pebble Beach. But to get in there, there is an $8 entrance fee. The price may have gone up by now. There are lots of places for pictures. Notice the brilliant colors on the sides of the road ... although they may have gone down in brilliance by summer. Oh yeah, bring a map so you can find your way back to Highway 1. Shouldn't be that hard, but just in case.
