MTTS leg 1 Monterey to Santa Barbara (tour warning)
There is one thing that's on the coast that several of us might want to see, Hearst Castle. It's listed on the Points of Interest for the leg. If you want to see it and take a tour you need reservations. You can get them on-line at http://www.hearstcastle.org/tours/index.asp. It's about a 2 hour drive from Monterey so you can pick your tour time accordingly. There were lots of slots open but with 700 plus Minis going down the coast more than a few should/would want to see it. My friends have told me that it is possible to sell out. It's actually in the mountains not visible from the road. http://www.hearstcastle.org/tours/index.asp
PS. If you're a local to one of the legs and you know something special let us know. It's the journey not the destination. Like reservations to see something or something of interest near the route. This will be one of the first times that I've traveled with the must meet deadline so; if it's a special landmark that usually gets missed by outsiders I'd like to know about it.
