📰 News we're reading

• Tight curves and wide horizons: The return of Highway 1 (spokesman.com) — Highway 1 is fully open again past Hearst Castle and the San Simeon coastline, restoring the classic coastal drive locals and visitors rely on. With landslide repairs finished, traffic is still surprisingly light, making it easier to reach nearby elephant seal viewing areas and Big Sur landmarks, while Hearst Castle tours and coastal businesses are beginning to see visitors return.
