Big Sur

I was in Big Sur not too long ago to see Jonathan Richman at the Henry Miller Library. He played some Modern Lovers songs in his set and after the show was quite approachable. He didn’t play this song, but I love it. I don’t know if I can fit any more links into this paragraph.

Grayson took us to a secret surf spot before the show that I can’t write about.

I bought a new camera on ebay a little while back. Nikon 35Ti with aperture priority. I’m digging it.

I dodged a bit of San Francisco winter to go to the Bahamas for 10 days with Mariah, Jesse and Evelyn.

The Bahamas is a large group of small islands surrounded by very shallow, sometimes unnavigable water. If you want to visit any of the other islands, you have to pay $8 one-way for a little ferry, no pun intended, then you catch a taxi from the dock to the closest town or next dock to take a ferry to the next island. If you want to explore or go on a liquor run, (as in our case, as we stayed on a dry island), you end up spending a lot of money.

We kayaked to an island that we could have mostly walked to.

“I’ve got the conch, I get to speak!”

It rained every night and it felt great. Not so good for card games, though.

Kalik: The Beer of The Bahamas.

Preacher’s Cave: This plaque carved in the rock claims that it’s the first settlement in The Bahamas. People lived here after a shipwreck on the Devil’s Backbone and for years it served as a church.

We returned just in time to drive up to Malakoff Diggins for a pioneer Thanksgiving.

The goal was to cook up a Thanksgiving dinner over the campfire. Craig took it a step further by putting a turkey wrapped in foil in the fire and making a fire on top of it for hours. I was skeptical, but when he brought it out and cut through the charred skin, it was super juicy and tasty. He said he read how to do it through Google.

Summer was over so long ago but it was so much fun.

When it’s this cold out, I reminisce about this past summer. It was amazing. Most importantly, Mariah and I got engaged! Read about it from her perspective at www.thelandlubber.com.

Here are photos of some of our other adventures:
