The Old Road Goes Down To and Along A Public Beach Located at the Back of Caspar Anchorage (a small bay).
“Instead we climb on the cycle and go slowly south looking for a restful place to pull off. .. The road leads out to the ocean again …. “(Cont.Next)
Back-bay Beach Park, one mi South of Caspar, CA. Most likely in 1968 the old road (main coastal highway Rt1.) would have gone thru the Caspar business district, then descended down a cliff-side to practically ocean level. It would first cross Caspar Creek followed by Doyle Creek, then go along the back of small anchorage (cove) and up the opposite cliff-side to the level land beyond. I believe this is the road most likely used by the Narrator since it would well fit his statement “The road leads out to the ocean again“. This also leads to a map location sent to me by Mr. Pirsig.
