SherriOur last night at Andrew Molera State Park is upon us. From exploring Big Sur and seeing many of the campgrounds, we confirmed without a doubt that we are at the best one and we have enjoyed the relative solitude here, not to mention we feel we were lucky to have landed a spot,

SherriFirst, thank you for reading my blog. I hope you get as much enjoyment reading about my adventures as I have going on them. Well OK, maybe that’s an exaggeration. But I do hope you find your own inspiration through my blog and may it ripple out into your life in ways known and unknown.
