While I have the actual physical book, as evidenced by the difficulty I have photographing it, a couple readers and Mark Readdie of Big Creek, pointed out that this entire book was published on line for your Monday morning reading material. Here is the link: https://bigcreekreserve.ucsc.edu/about/big-creek-oral-history—the-rough-land-to-the-south.pdf
I will be back with further history and info for Monday mornings when I find something worth publishing.

Caltrans proposes bridge rail replacements on six historic bridges along the Big Sur Coast to bring the facilities up to current standards.

Attention all North County residents of SLO Co and South County residents of MoCo!
Camp Roberts will be conducting a prescribed burn on May 19th and May 26th. The intent is to reduce the vegetation and consequently the fire hazard in the areas of impact. The burn also presents a critical training opportunity for various state, regional and local fire agencies to work with Camp Roberts in conducting the hazard reduction operation.
Atascadero Fire & Emergency Services will be among the various agencies assisting during the burn. SLO County Air Pollution Control District staff will also be involved in the event to ensure minimal impact to nearby residents. The prescribed burn will not take place if weather conditions are not favorable for the operation.
We all know that Elsa and pals have been running the Big Share at the Grange every Monday for over a year, but for those of you not in Big Sur, you might be interested in this:

One of my readers, Rich, told me how he looked forward to reading the Personality One series each morning with his coffee. The last of that missive posted last week, so I searched around for something else my readers might enjoy, and I found this, which I will publish a bit of each Monday.
