Monterey, CA
Half a century ago it was the "Sardine Capital of the World". Today, most people know
Monterey’s Cannery Row for its most famous inhabitant, Nobel-prize winning novelist John Steinbeck.
The ghosts of Steinbeck’s "Cannery Row" still walk the streets: Doc Ricketts, Dora Flood,
Lee Chong…but these days, visitors from around the world come more for the great local
seafood, the shops and entertainment, and the world-class Monterey Bay Aquarium. Your
Dr. Clue hunt on "the Row" explores the fascinating Steinbeck-related historical signage;
a precarious telescope along the Boardwalk; a much-obscured plaque dedicated to procrastination;
and a shop/museum celebrating the California otter. It’s blue skies, salty sea breezes, and a
whiff of literary history on the Bay of Monterey. (Watch our 2-minute video preview to see what a typical Dr. Clue program looks and feels like!)
