Dennis the Menace Park, Cannery Row, and The Great Tide Pool

Some friends came down for a weekend in a hotel in Monterey to get out of their house after a year and a half since their last time away from home. We went to Dennis the Menace Park where there’s a cool old steam engine I remember playing on as a kid. Then we walked along the seal beach and down cannery row. Then after that we went out to see the Great Tide Pool by Asilomar. It’s weird seeing other humans we know in person who don’t live in our town after a year and a half of not seeing such folks except over Zoom.

Monterey Bike Night

After coming back from a work trip to Paris, I found myself in the middle of Monterey Bike Night.

So many wonderful classic metric muscle bikes.

Dat Japanese six cylinder.

A Kawasaki 4 banger.

Another six cylinder Honda!  These are pretty rare bikes.  To see two on one block is pretty amazing.

There probably were over 1000 bikes parked all up and down Cannery Row.

A really cool old Honda.  Not too many like these around anymore.

Around Cannery Row

Honey Badger Don’t Care!  Reminds me of my buddy’s Toyota Tacoma, the Honey Badger.

Looking down Cannery Row form one of the pass-overs.

Looking the other way down Cannery Row.

McAbee Beach and the Mexican Restaurant.  There’s a good dive site here that I’ve been diving at before.

Great little piece of sand and rock.

I spy an old 4runner!  Sweet!

Sunny says he’ll forgive me… someday.

Rainbow over the bay.
