Love this, shared, thank you!
My best to the folks at Deetjen's. One of my favorite places o the planet. Many happy memories made there.
Oh how I hope there is a way for us to help!!!
We love you and miss you Dettjens!! Thank you AMAZING Big Sur Kate, our beacon of strength.
Great news!
I stayed with my aunt Luneta for seven months in 1953 in Big Sur. I was 3 years old. I spent plenty of time at Deetjen's and Nepenthe during that era. We quite frequently spent time with Henry Miller and Emil White. in 1955 my family and I moved to Big Sur, and Deetjen's was the first place I remembered on the drive south from Carmel. An AWESOME place for sure!! We lived at Lucia until 1970. My heart and soul belongs in Big Sur... Paradise at its best!!
Sure is a TON of hero worship on this website for Ms. Kate!!
Kate, this is great news- hope all are living long & prospering among all all the pitfalls & sinkholes Mother Nature remains in charge of setting up! Go Caltrans, Kate, and other unsung heroes, firefighters w/ community organizers, etc Kate, how are all the bridge projects going as of this moment? Enjoy your week preppers & survivalists.
Great news. Deetjens is one of my most favorite places in the world. I still remember vividly time spent in the hot tub at Top House in the late 70's especially. Has it really been that long?
Love this photo Kate. And love and miss my breakfast time at Deetjens. This is very positive news that we all hope comes to fruition. Hugs.
