BLUE AND WHITE OVERHEAD & THE BIG SUR SAGA

NO PROBLEM, IT'S PARADISE MAN
       We've been in love with Big Sur since 1969.  It was our first trip to California and our friend Jim told us we needed to get an early start from LA so we could get up this "special place" by sunset.  It was the Lime Kiln campground, south of Big Sur. If ever a place can throw a switch in your brain, Big Sur did and still does.  
        Living only hour or south of Big Sur is one of the great joys in our life.
       It is one of the planet's most beautiful places.  As our friends who visit learn, there is a special charm to the region, and the drive is probably the best in the United States.
       If you've been paying attention you know about the slides and road collapse that has isolated Big Sur from the rest of the world.   
       Julia Prodis Sulek of the San Jose Mercury News has written a marvelous account of how things are going with that.
WHEN YOU LOOK UP
       A joy of California living is the blue, the shades of blue of the sky, almost year around.  And there is usually something always blooming.

And sometimes those blooms are over head.
Clouds are another great show.  There is something special about clouds in a California sky.
Some look like they may have inspired movie makers.
Hmmmm.
And clouds and mountains are a great combination.





Keep looking up.
See you down the trail.
