Stuck in Big Sur! (Day One)

Alissa: The next few legs of our journey present a logistic challenge in that the options for lodging along this section of the coast are extremely limited.

Consider the following scenario: It is Monday and the weather is perfect for cycling! You can get to your desired location, but

(1) The weather forecast says 100% chance of rain for Tuesday and Wednesday.

(2) You’re hearing rumors Caltrans might close sections of Hwy 1 preemptively, in case of mudslides.

(3) Your ONLY accessible lodging option if the highway is indeed closed has availability for Monday and Tuesday, but is completely sold out for Wednesday and Thursday.

WWY(ou)D?

We decided, based on this information, to stay put in our tiny corner of Big Sur and wait out the storm and possible road closure.

We’re trying to make the best of it…
