Pacific Coast Highway
height: 700
width: 500
border: no

Wiggling along the Pacific Coast Highway. Inspired by lots of driving up and down this road. Thanks to clhenrick and veltman for thinking through the linestring ordering with me. Data from Natural Earth. Point along path interpolation from Mike Bostock.
