Hi Barry, I live in San Luis Obispo. Highway 46 goes from 101 to
hwy 1 just south of Cambria. About halfway over, there is small grove of
impressive Madrone. I don't recognize the long needle pine you describe but
I may be able to find out what it is. Is that where you were? It's at least
30 miles south of Monterey County. ---Chas---
