Big Sur

Photo Sunday #2 — Rep. Jimmy Panetta tours the slides via helicopter

These are the photos he took of the slides. He toured the area yesterday (Saturday) afternoon. These first three are of Paul’s Slide

These next photos are of Mill Creek. What I want to know is how in the heck did those “Spider Excavators” get up there?

These next photos are of a little known slide north or Ragged Point

Finally, we reach the southern most slide, Polar Star

Based on this marketing video, it would seem these amazing machines just wandered on up there....

Big Sur has given us so many signs but yet we still don’t pay attention. Maybe it’s time we pay attention and close this highway down for good. This majestic coastline wants to reclaim its natures wildness. Preservation should be our priority and not our entitlement.

A Godess would have supreme vision, but I doubt many Big Sur mortals would support closing Hwy 1.
