What can I say.. Big Sur. The real thing, This was a solo trip I took down the coastal highway. I so enjoyed the sights; the geology; the plants and the scrub jays that it will stay with me for a long time. I walked down into Jade cove and let the waves from the Pacific was over my feet, The hillside had a green hue, the rock were defiantly metamorphic, there was a lot of serpentine, and the water was wet. I enjoyed the cove, a sea lion swam by.
