It wasn’t all that long ago: Our grandparents would pile the kids and the dog into the car and go out for a Sunday drive in search of new adventures on the quieter, lazy highways not too far from home. In our region of the Central Coast, there are still many such backroads — the
blue highways on the nostalgic paper maps that denoted a two-lane, somewhat rural road off the well-beaten path, and connected tiny communities and estates to the outside world. In some ways, this feeling that time has forgotten us here still exists.
