Before & After – a wildflower field

View Comments

• How uplifting Kate! Many thanks for sharing this w/ us, & perhaps you can replace the plane flying over fire Header! 🌞

  • Miss Jan, the wildflowers were BEFORE the fire. That is what the fire destroyed. I might not change the header until fire season is over. I hope I don't change it due to another fire!

• I just don't understand. I read your blog each day and am filled with admiration for the residents of Big Sur. How could anyone not be touched by the challenges you face each day? How can people be so thoughtless? I just don't understand.

• Kate,

  Documentary films on Big Sur don't seem to change many folks minds either.

• Someone needs to do a documentary on the fire (caused by careless humans) and the floods, focusing on the devastation and it's effect on the residents. Before and after pictures would be great.

• Please tell me that two people are not setting up tents in the middle of the scorched area

• Smokey the bear has been defunded and the grizzly bear is being taken off the endangered species list, we can now return to the conversation of reintroducing the grizzly bear as an organic solution to camp fires.

• A lot of these clueless campers are foreign tourists. Maybe the car/motor home rental agencies need to start being held responsible for their clients actions?

• Actually, the dispersed campers are almost always twentysomethings and American! Including these two citiots from near by San Luis Obispo!

  • Well, except for the 4 people in the Motorhome who took South Coast Ridge Rd and got both lost and stuck and had to be rescued by the CHP - Chinese and Japanese couples traveling together.

• Yea, what a disaster that was! And I'm quite certain your son told you about the asians this past December, I think it was, that drove not only up to the hermitage employee housing but beyond!! LOL!! I don't get what they were thinking! That's the problem; they don't think for themselves and just look at where their smart phone tells them to go. Smart phone, dumb user. Once they open Paul's, Naci is really going to become Nasty and more people are going to take SCR or CPR and really do some damage all because they were following their gps.
  But, in my comment above, I was referring to dispersed campers and I've never seen asians doing that. But give them a car, or worse yet, a motor home and watch the chaos! People from other countries should have to pass an extensive driving test before they can rent any kind of vehicle and everyone renting an RV should have to go thru the CDL driving test!

  • I do not remember hearing the story about the Hermitage. I'm not looking forward to the opening at Paul's Slide in one respect, but am in another. It will be a mixed bag, for sure.

• Oh! I'm surprised he hadn't told you; you'll have to ask him about it- 2 different occasions, actually! You'll get a laugh outta the stupidity!
  Yea, I'm with you on the mixed bag of emotions with Paul's opening and then the bridge opening. Naci will be a nightmare until they can get mud creek open.... in 2018??

  • In 2018? Maybe, but it might be longer.
