Big Sur

None of these pictures has been edited. Matty is magic, Alex is hilarious, Resham and Lindzie are great. The Beginning.


Day One: Driving packed in a corner with all of two men's things. Andrew Molera SP. Resham and Linzie arrival. A spewing of A-C couplings. Stars on the beach accompanied by flow harmonica. Flashlights and wiggly path adventures in the dark.

The Coast.

Andrew Molera State Park

Day two: Recovery. Sandstorm beach hike. Driftwood homes. Aggressive Critters. Books in tents. Ramen partial failure. Tented mandolin serenaded cuddle puddle.

Fred. The squirrel who bit me.

Day three: Goodbyes! Red River Inn. Campsite search. Henry Miller Library. Ragged Point. San Simeon. More wine. Amazing U-haul house tent bacon cooking latino neighbors.

Red River Inn. So much de ja vu about this place.

Day four: Cambria! Coffee! Garden. Sandwich. Beach. Chris!

Day five: Back to Sur. Best Campsite EVER. One more night. 12 dollar bacon. Short path down the bluff, across the creek, out to the ocean. Cold Water. Warm Sun. Banjo. Phone Calls. Magnificent Sunset. Stolen Bacon.

Beach! Ocean! Rocks!

Day Six: Bacon Found! Goodbye, Much Love. Nepenthe. Missed the bus. Sculpture garden. Caught the bus. Passed by Jordan! "I know that guy!" (it never ceases to surprise me!) Monterey. San Jose. Afghani conversation. BART. Sad Gingers. Shower. Bed.

BACON! Returned mostly unharmed. I think it was the rabbits.

Horse Sculpture in the sculpture garden , where everything was priced at $12,000 or more, across the street from Nepenthe. (They charge extra for the view.)

All in all, I would say it was a really good trip, save for that incident with the bacon. But we got it back! So it's all ok! The End.
