Big Sur
(no wifi at all in the past 10 days. but we have arrived in bellingham! more on that after some posts from the journey…)
When you drive into the area around the coast called Big Sur, you practically wet your pants. You begin to truly exists on the edge of the world, taking hairpin turns on roads with 1000 foot drop offs, never once really looking where you are going. You are to busy being memerized by the view of our placid ocean and our wild rocks and the ever- passionate relationship they have together.
We slept under this bridge, part of the US 1. Seems crazy but it was awesome. We were literally steps from the sands, at Limekiln State Park.

The diversity of this camp spot/park is unreal. From rocky shore to deep and mossy redwood, to ranging falls and sweet little streams. Yellow banana slugs and furry black spiders.

We played on the shore and in the forest for 2 days straight, in and out went the sun and the sprinkles of rain, but the temperature stayed mild and friendly. Mia ran with the fairies, no fear, coming close to drop offs into the river. She freaks me out with her ability to let go of any body boundaries and fly through these woods with no worries of what comes afer each step. Sula on the other hand stayed close by, cautioius yet interested.

At one point, B says, ‘jump on that stump and undress. let’s get a photo of you." Granted, it wasn’t the busiest place on earth but there were definitely other campers around. So an impromptu photo of my naked top half happened on top of at least an 800 year old redwood stump. Because we were in a rush, no focusing occured, but I still like it.

We let Mia snap for a bit…

Limkiln is truly an awesome way to experience Big Sur Magic, one of the only legal beachside camping. It used to be a free-love hippy compound back in the 1960’s and you can feel the unhindered love of the land. Fer sure.
