Categories: 2016 Fire Season

Eight years ago today …

The Gallery Fire in Big Sur was started by lightning. It morphed into the Basin Complex. It charred much of the back country and took out homes as well. It was a horrible time, but we pulled together and became stronger.

I started this blog as a result of this fire. Many of you do not know the story behind the creation of this blog, so on Independence Day, I will retell that story. Stay tuned.

Appointed appellate counsel for indigent defendants (retired.) I have lived in Big Sur since 1984, first on the north coast, and on the South Coast since 1989.

  • I can't imagine the Internet without Big Sur Kate blog. You give voice and definition to an entire region Kate. If there never was an Internet they would have to invent one so that your voice could be heard.
    Thank you Kate.
