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.

Kate the Phoenix, invented out of ashes. Can't wait to hear your telling.
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.
