JUST BACK
I just returned from a 40-mile backpacking trip in the Ventana Wilderness near Big Sur. The wildflowers were in bloom; lots of reds, yellows, purples. We saw three condors one day. The camping among the pines and redwoods with the rushing rivers providing background music was magical. Grand finale was a soak in the Sykes Hot Springs.
