Highway 1 S, Lucia, Kirk Creek Campground
Left Big Sur State Park at 8:00 am and have to climb a big hill, the same one I climbed yesterday, to visit Nepenthe for lunch. Half way up the hill on the right, the Big Sur Bakery and Restaurant has espresso, pastries, and chow but no WiFi. Next to the bakery is the Taproom and a General Store which has WiFi but does not work all the time.
I saw my first bike touring toddler this morning. The two year old was in a seat behind the dad. Mother was pulling a trailer with another older child. Both bikes were laden with much gear.
The ocean is very calm today, no fog and sunny. There is a lot of kelp in the water in the Big Sur area.
Lucia is a one building town and after the Lucia mountains. It has a restaurant, Lucia Lodge, with terrific views, a lodge, and a general store. Stores and restaurants in the remote areas of Big Sur are relatively expensive, no cell signal exists, and in some areas satellite WiFi is available for a fee.
I arrived at the Kirk Creek Campground in the late afternoon is operated by the Los Padres National Forest. It is a dry camping area with no running water or showers. The hiker-biker site is right next to the ocean and the setting was very serene and scenic.

This flimsy bench seat was perched on the edge of a 1,000-foot precipice, not tied down ... did I sit in it?
