  • Sorry to say I am unsubscribing; can't take looking at that mask any longer. I've been following you for years. Best of luck, especially in this weather.

  • I love your mask. Makes you easy to find on my feed! What has happened to make random strangers believe they may dictate our aesthetics on our own feeds? Talk about a Karen.

  • hey Big Sur locals - I have planned to be at Esalen next week. driving there from SB on Monday. Do you think theres any chance or should i cancel now? many thanks from a wet SB down the coast.

    • Jane, it is really hard to tell what will be the situation until after these current storms pass thru. Right now, today, Highway 1 is closed at the Elephant Viewing area on the south, Deetjen’s on the north, and Nacimiento has been closed to traffic for the last 2 years. I would probably cancel.
