Its the flower stem of Agave americana.

Its rather tricky to ID without seeing the leaf rosettes.

You should have asked if anybody can ID the plant.
You would rather have it identified than a bunch of lame guesses, wouldn't
you?

So, what do I win? A free trip to Carmel by the Sea and dinner with Clint
Eastwood? Go ahead, make my day!!

I've been trying to identify this plant growing on the coast near Carmel
in
California. Any ideas what it is?
