Big Sur on a Tuesday in June

Yesterday, Tuesday June 16, 2026, I had the pleasure of being a passenger down the Coast from Rio Rd to Pacific Valley with my friend Rose Welch. It was a beautiful day for a drive (if one could be patient and extremely aware of the idiots and other out-of-towners on the road.) It was nuts at all the usual places and some of the not-so-usual places. McWay Falls apparently hasn’t had anty police presence in the form of State Park Rangers in a bit as it was back to its pre-patrol craziness. (Sorry, I was helping to keep an eye out for Rose and too busy to take photos.) Bixby was slow going as usual, but at 3:30 in the afternoon there was a CHP presence who was out talking to people and issuing tickets. (Thanks to Morgan Lee-Airello for these photos-CHP officer is behind a car on the west side talkling/giving out tickers)

Thank you, CHP and Morgan.
