This is from last night:
‘We have the old Madsen place (just south of coast gallery) and Magnus Toren (from henry miller library) just came by to say hello and his son’s dog ran away about an hour ago about 6pm. It’s a friendly brown/tan 2 y.o. neutered male pit bull mix with a collar stating “Zeak Toren” with their son, Stefan Toren’s name and number (906.630.0872) on the collar (he’s on a coast guard trip). We think he headed to the highway. Our number is 667.0790 – lost at the old Madsen place across from coast gallery. Magnus’ number is 831.667. 2714. we’ve alerted the sheriff.
Huge thank you in advance,
Merriman Mathewsons
People often confuse Memorial Day and Veteran’s Day. On Memorial Day we honor those who gave their lives in the fight for our country. We honor our dead. Veteran’s Day, we honor the living.
A week ago, Drupey went missing from his home on Alm’s Ridge, up here on the South Coast. A dog like this was spotted near Salmon Creek and rescued by the SPCA, but not Drupey. Here are some photos;
On Nacimiento I counted 34 campsites on the side of the road yesterday, Saturday, between the summit and the coast. Almost all of them in dangerous locations. There is no privacy, no place for human waste, people are camped practically on top of each other. This is not camping. The road is dangerous enough just being so narrow and winding and in generally bad shape. This phenomena just adds another layer of dangerousness to an existing situation.
Hello Big Sur!
A quick reminder!
We are inviting you to the Big Sur Chamber of Commerce mixer. The Mixer will
be held May 24, 2016 from 5:00 PM – 6:30 PM. at Café Kevah which is located
on the first level of Nepenthe, adjacent to the The Phoenix.
The first 15-20 minutes of the mixer will be a brief history of the Big Sur
Chamber of Commerce and to let you know we will be scheduling a membership
meeting in the next 30-60 days to address the need to elect Board of
Directors, evaluate current web site goals, address Big Sur visitation level
issues, etc. Afterwards the time is available to socialize and and enjoy the
panoramic views and to reintroduce ourselves to our business associates and
neighbors.
Many thanks to Kirk Gafill and to Café Kevah for their generosity in hosting
the Big Sur Chamber of Commerce mixer.
Please help us spread the word. We hope to see you all there.
Regards,
Stan Russell
