Reminder regarding Overuse and Loving Big Sur to death

Yesterday, I went down the hill. I saw vehicles and campers everywhere, off-road, cutting through fences and installed barriers to get where they wanted to go. And when I came home, most of them were gone, leaving large amounts of tp and trash behind. 

I just want to take this opportunity to remind all that I have created two separate pages, where I am collecting photographs Loving Big Sur to death and data and suggestions on the Overuse of Big Sur Page. I add to both of these several times a week, usually. Some of you are checking these regularly, others seem to have forgotten. The discussion continues and gains momentum on social media sites.  Per readers, these links do not work (and I cannot figure out why – they work for me!) but don’t despair – these same links are up above in the “Info” post and to the right under pages. Those DO work!

    • Well, darn. I'll check, but the pages are also up above in the info re Big Sur post, as well as listed to the right under pages.

  • I get invalid address for both links too. I would like to look, but need some help please.

    • Okay, they work for me, so not sure what the problem is, but in the meantime, there are two other places where the links reside permanently, one to the right, under pages, and one up above in the Info on Big Sur post. If neither of those work, either, let me know. I'll try to resolve the issues, if I can figure it out.

  • I just googled Loving Big Sur to Death and found it. Maybe it's the "-photos." Either way, now I can check out both sites.
