Now I want everybody to get on the 1. Get up and get down.
Hop onto the singletrack at the point which would appeal to Lon Chaney Jr. Ride it. Feel them 23s drift. Come on ride it!
Ease on down the Big Sur coastline until you reach the most parasitic trailhead in the county. The signage on the Best Side makes no mention of bikes. That means "GO!"
You can ride singletrack over the Pacific...
wrap that point back to the 1, continue South.
Act like you know.
OMG, the poison oak was over powering...a trail only a Midwesterner could love. Wear shorts.
Wow. This place was oceany. The seals were eyeballing me. I did not linger.
Wet. Mucky. I expected crabs to creep out.
And after I saw the goods, I really expected crabs to creep out.
Brothers and Sisters, this spot was a fine place to have a beer. Nicely done. Super sweet jaunt down the coast, which I never do and should- so it was great. Add in the singletrack sides? Hello fun!
Cemetery benches are not just for creeps or mourners. You can loiter there, too!
If you were sitting there, quietly, enjoying the rarefied atmosphere, your eye might be drawn to the shrubbery across the street below and between the 2 Eucalyptus. If that were the case, I wouldn't blame you.
I suppose you're going to have to play it by ear. Right here and now.
Stepped out my house, stopped short- oh no! Why is my dang thing burning like that? Cruised through the woods on the way to the bike path, and all the grass is brown. It's getting hottt in here.
I had a general idea where this cache would be (uh, by the ocean) but not really. What a fantastic spot!
I had to do some math in my head here, which was hard. If you are here yourself, and you look on the other side of that plinth, there will be a cool-ish Tecate under some rubble. But it won't last, I'm sure.
The graffiti is unimaginative.
Except this one; that's cool.
I rode this far.
Here's some digging.
So effing cool, I cannot believe it! I don't know where Lord Hayden gets these treasures, but he must have fortified hisself with a whole heap of Golden Drak to think of giving them away...
Even though there was no supplied opener...I drank the Belgian hooch in the tankard right there, so's I could get into that headspace. What a fantastic spot!
I buried 2 Tecates in the spot so if someone and someone's sweetie want to go there, they can. There's even semi-burnt logs right there, but it'd have to be a still night to allow a fire. The wind rips through there. You can watch the pelicans, gulls, buzzards, etc ride the ridgeline.
Always do sober what you say you'll do drunk. That will teach you to keep your mouth shut. -Ernest Hemingway
