Springtime in Big Sur

[SunMan]

Spring has pretty much sprung in Big Sur. Not much to say about it really, it's Big Sur, it's bitchen.

We drove in the back way:

Boondocked it the first night...

We hiked around a bit the next day...

We camped with the masses at a State Park for our last night, we ate pretty well along the way, and then boogied on home on Sunday. There are loads of poppies and wildfowers everywhere...it's just mind blowing right now.

Catching the spring bloom, the perfect ocean view campsite, hikes on the coast, and good eats. Wow, Suni, it would be difficult to put together a better trip.

Jeez Sunni....You gave up the Hog Festival and several days with Salty for peace, serenity, beautiful weather, spring flowers, Big Sur, the company of a fine woman, your trusty hound, and good eats?? What the hell's wrong with you??

Angle of truck?

I am wondering what the advantage is of parking the truck with the back lifted? Could you let me know?

Thank you,

Darryl

I'm guessing thats just the photo perspective and he's just leveled there. Great fun Sunman - and awesome food as always mr. taco

The Dog summed it up, there was a pretty significant down slope near the rear end...just trying to keep her level.

Leveling

Yo Yo Sunny,
Another crappy day in Paradise.

Man, spring in Cali. Gotta Love it.
Not quite so nice up here in the Northwest....yet.

Wish I had the chance to get out, though. Thanks for the pics and the kick in the pants to get out of dodge!!

Sonny,

Nice report and pics. Am slowly working my way down the coast and should be in Bodega Bay tonight, with Big Sur following the next day. This Part of CA coast is one of my all time favorite places in the world. You just can't beat it.

 

[SunMan]

Sunman,you just proved it life is sweet! GREAT pictures.
One ? back way to Big Sur,we are always looking for new roads and this one sounds good (we always go up the coast and get mad when we can not enjoy the trip because of everyone in a big hurry to get who knows where.
Thanks
Drive slow and enjoy "its the journey"

I think I drove past you on HWay 1

On Thursday morning. I was coming into Aptos, near Santa Cruz.

I've lived here my whole life and LOVE Big Sur.

By the way, for those of you who have camped at Big Basin, up in the Santa Cruz mountains, I was talking to the E.D. of The Sempervirens and they just purchased "Little Basin". which is just south of Big Basin. It should be open for camping this summer.

Don't think it was me, I wasn't that far north. Maybe it was the other ATC/Tundra guy (Gmanako??) that i saw.
