Have you ever visited a place so beautiful that the images always are there in your mind. These are some photos of a camping trip we took to Big Sur in the summer of 2006. We lived there from 1976-1980 when our older children were in early elementary school. An experience that is indescribable and we wanted our younger children to have a little taste of it as they had never lived there.
In the summer 1977 there was a massive fire called the Marble Cone fire (lightening) which burned for more then 3 weeks and consumed over 205,000 acres of land. It was more in the backwoods and paralleled the coast. There is a fire there now, threatening the community of Big Sur. The area of Big Sur that we knew, places we went, names I hear in the news of families we knew then. I've been through the be ready to evacuate if necessary and it is VERY,VERY SCARY to decide what to take and what to leave~ we were spared and didn't have to evacuate (1988 Sierra Nevada's) Pray for containment and to spare the community and natural beauty of the area.
God Bless

What a beautiful slide show of a wonderful place. I am so sorry about all the fires out there this year already. We've been through summers like that here in Colorado and it is so sad and scary.
I had a great day yesterday and am looking forward to no alarm on Monday!
